Falls prevention

With ageing falls and the fear of falling start to impact on the way the elderly live their lives. In fact 1 in 4 people over 60 years of age will experience a fall each year. The consequences of this can be hip fractures, head injuries, hospital admissions and lead to a loss of independence.

There are many reasons why the risk of falls increase as you age, including decreased strength and proprioception, slowing reflexes and saving ability, increased medications and declining eyesight, as well as external factors such as home environment and footwear.

Physiotherapists are trained to assess all areas that may lead to falls. At Future Physio our specialist home visit team can individually address factors to help you reduce your risk of falls. We are trained in walking aid presciption, exercise and balance training and can develop a program that specifically meets your needs.

Our therapists can work with you on a regular basis to increase your strength and balance or prescribe a program for you to complete in the comfort of your own home.

If you are concerned about yourself of a family member and their risk of falling, get in touch today to chat to one of our friendly team members.

Physiotherapy for dementia clients

Did you know there is good evidence surrounding the benefits for physiotherapy for clients with cognitive impairments and dementia?

Dementia is a disorder of mental processes affecting daily living. It is progressive in nature and symptoms will vary according to the stage of the disease, with most clients eventually becoming dependent on their carers.

At Future Physio our therapists are trained in providing care to clients at all stages of the dementia journey to enable independent living for as long as possible, prevent hospital admissions and reduce the burden on carers. Home visit physiotherapy is particularly useful for this client group to enabling safe, familiar surroundings and the ability to practice activities that are used every day at home.

A consistent, caring relationship is what we pride ourselves on at Future Physio. We use exercise therapy, strength and balance work, gait re-education and practice activities of daily living with our clients.

Should your family member be requiring consistent care to help manage and slow the progression of their symptoms the call us on 0477 934 546 and we will assess and tailor a program in the comfort of the client’s own home.
