Fall Prevention Program for Seniors

Falls are the leading cause of injury to older adults, which can result in loss of independence, activity limitation and premature death. 

Current clinical guidelines unanimously recommend exercise therapy to address strength, balance and gait deficits for all adults aged over 65 at risk of falling. 

Specifically, exercise is the most widely researched intervention for community-dwelling older adults with robust evidence demonstrating its effectiveness in reducing the incidence of falling  (Hughes et al., 2019).

Join a small group under the guidance of our physiotherapy staff at West Pymble for gentle exercises designed to strengthen the important muscle groups to keep you strong, safe & in control.
