Falls are not an inevitable part of ageing — and the majority can be prevented with the right support. Our fall prevention physiotherapy programme is designed to help you understand your personal risk factors, build strength and balance, and regain the confidence to move safely and independently.

The aim is simple: to help you stay active, independent, and free from the fear or consequences of falling.

How Specialist Physiotherapy Works With You

Our expert physiotherapists take a proactive, evidence-based and comprehensive approach that looks beyond physical weakness — addressing every factor that contributes to your stability and confidence.

• Identifying Your Risks: We begin by assessing your strength, balance, walking pattern, medications, and any hazards within your home environment that could increase your risk of falling.
• Building a Personalised Safety and Exercise Plan: Using your assessment results, we create a bespoke exercise and safety programme. These exercises are specific to improving balance, coordination, and reaction time — not just general fitness.
• Guided, Supportive Training: Every session is supervised by a physiotherapist who ensures each exercise is performed safely and effectively. As you progress, your plan is adjusted to match your growing strength and confidence.
• Addressing the Underlying Causes: We work with you — and, if needed, your GP or other healthcare providers — to manage additional factors such as dizziness, vision problems, or medication side effects, ensuring a truly holistic approach.

Who Is It For?

Fall prevention physiotherapy is ideal for anyone who wants to stay safe, steady, and independent, particularly those who:
