If you are having problems moving around or have been falling over, please seek help from our physiotherapists .Injuries due to falls is a common problem amongst older adults above age 65. Falls may be prevented with the right intervention. Our physiotherapists will assess your physical condition and identify the causes of these falls. Common causes are poor balance, weak muscles and a lack of regular exercises. The physiotherapist will then recommend appropriate strategies and exercises to reduce the risk of falling.
