FALLS PREVENTION WITH A RESEARCH-BASED PHYSIOTHERAPY APPROACH

Falls in the elderly community represent a significant health risk. For example, the injuries sustained in the process, such as hip fractures, are often severe and often result in the need for long-term care. This results in the individual requiring higher levels of care and in some cases not being able to live at home independently, potentially needing nursing home care. Our job is to prevent falling, this is one of our main goals at Senior's Health Physio. Our research-based approach focuses on improving motor skills strength, coordination, balance, and endurance to improve falls prevention. Our therapeutic focus lies in the treatment of the individual with a holistic, extended treatment approach as we know it takes time to improve in this area.
