Falls are a leading cause of injury in older adults, but many are preventable. Whether you’ve had a fall before, feel unsteady, or want to stay active and independent as you age, our physiotherapist-led fall prevention programs can help you improve balance, strength, and confidence.
Identifying Your Risk Factors
We start by looking at the things that could increase your risk of falls, including:
Balance challenges:
Difficulty staying steady during daily activities.
Muscle weakness:
Especially in legs, hips, and core.
Reduced mobility:
Joint stiffness or pain that changes the way you move.
Medical conditions:
Such as arthritis, diabetes, or vision changes.
Environmental hazards:
Home or work areas that increase fall risk.
By understanding your unique risks, we can design a program that’s right for you.

Your fall prevention plan may include:
- Balance and stability training to improve reaction time and control
- Strengthening exercises for key muscle groups that help you stay upright
