Reduce Fall Risk
We’ll work on your balance to keep you sturdy as you navigate obstacles on the floor, and step up stairs. Strength and balance training can support fall prevention by improving lower-body strength, coordination, stability and movement confidence.
We will work on the practical abilities involved in navigating obstacles, changing direction, stepping securely and using stairs.
When appropriate, we can also practise controlled floor transitions and techniques for getting up from the floor using positioning and leverage rather than relying on strength.
