Falls Prevention
Falls Prevention Program for Enhanced Mobility
Falls are a leading cause of injury among older Australians and individuals with mobility challenges. Our falls prevention physiotherapy focuses on minimising risks, improving balance, and enhancing confidence in daily activities. Whether you’re recovering from a fall or aiming to prevent one, we provide tailored strategies to help you stay safe and independent.
Why Falls Prevention Matters
Falls can lead to fractures, loss of independence, and reduced quality of life. Common risk factors include:
- Poor balance and coordination
- Muscle weakness or joint stiffness
- Medication side effects
- Home hazards (e.g., loose rugs, poor lighting)
- Vision or neurological conditions
A proactive approach to fall prevention can significantly reduce these risks and keep you mobile for longer.

2. Balance & Strength Training
We tailor exercise programs to improve leg strength, core stability, and coordination, helping you stay steady on your feet.
3. Gait & Walking Aid Prescription
If needed, we provide recommendations for mobility aids (e.g., walkers, canes) to improve safety and confidence while walking.
4. Home Safety Advice
We guide you on modifications that can reduce fall risks, such as grab bars, non-slip flooring, and proper lighting.
5. Education & Confidence Building
Beyond physical training, we equip you with strategies to reduce anxiety around falls, empowering you to move safely and independently.
