What Can We Do?
Research has shown exercise programs which include balance training, have up to a 42% reduction in the rate of falls.
Strength, flexibility, balance and reaction time are considered the most readily modified risk factors for falls.
It has been shown that adherence to exercise is highest when the program is physio-led and there is moderate home visit support.
We see clients in their own homes, retirement village and aged care facilities.
We teach evidenced based individualised balance and strength exercises to help rehabilitate clients from injury, illness/surgery or general decline to decrease the risk of falling and maximize mobility.
We aim to keep you living independently for as long as possible.
