How we can help

Fear of falling affects approximately 50% of older people. There are several reasons why your mobility deteriorates and leads to falls, including having an accident or illness and ageing.

Home Physio Group is here to support your concerns and problems by providing a personalised exercise programme that is enjoyable, adapted to the right intensity, and includes supervision.

Our method

To minimise your risk of accidents your physiotherapist will:

Assess your problems, create goals, and select a suitable treatment programme
Determine which part of your body is weak and could be strengthened further
Assess your balance reaction and coordination
Review your home environment for trip hazards
Advise on equipment that may benefit your environment
Review your range of joint movement and how it affects mobility
Advise on what type of activity is safe and suitable

Exercise, education, and advice are just some of the strategies we use to improve your balance, increase your self-confidence, and reduce any fear of falling.

Our tips to help you prevent your falls risk

Keep as active as you possibly can
Wear shoes with non-slip soles
Use night lights in your bedroom, hallway, and bathrooms
Do your physiotherapy exercises on a regular basis
Use a suitable walking aid if needed
Adapt your home environment according to the advice from your physiotherapist
Know how to cope in the event that a fall does happen
Be careful of electrical wires across pathways as these are easy to trip over
Have handrails installed on both sides of your staircase

My experiences have been totally positive. The booking arrangements are effectively and promptly managed and their arrangements and prices etc. are clear and explained. The Physio I had, Samiya, was excellent. She was always on time, very personable, but at the same time quite tough in making sure the exercises required were being done properly
