Falls & Balance Programme
Prevent falls in later life and retain your confidence and independence
Statistics show that a third of those over 65 fall at least once a year, rising to 50% for those over 80, and while most falls do not result in serious injury, they may cause pain, distress, fear, and avoidance, leading to loss of independence.
When it comes to falls, muscle weakness and impaired balance are significant risk factors. Physical activity and exercise are necessary for maintaining mobility and independent living, especially in later life.
Our Falls and Balance Programme has been specifically designed to offer various exercises that positively impact muscle and balance outcomes. Exercise interventions are delivered within a therapeutic context, which is specifically targeted to help reduce the risk of falls.
By considering the frequency, context and characteristics of your falls, we can work together to prevent these without compromising your quality of life.
Who might benefit from our Falls and Balance Programme?
Our programme focuses on fall prevention and management, targeting those who are unbalanced but have yet to fall to those who are falling. As part of the programme, we offer a thorough assessment, 1:1 support and group therapy to support those concerned about falling or those already falling.
For anyone concerned about travelling, this programme can be delivered in the clinic, at home or as a combination of the two.
As NHS waiting lists grow, don’t risk becoming less mobile and developing further health problems. Contact us now.

What is the benefit of coming to the clinic?
We have a lovely spacious gym area with a wide range of therapy, exercise equipment and rehabilitation technology to support each clients needs. This allows us to offer a wide range of treatment approaches. However, we are aware that for some activities it is key to get out and about into the community or undertake sessions at home.

How do I access group sessions?
Check out our group exercise page which explains what each group focuses on and who it is aimed at. Some of our groups only require a short assessment whilst others require more input prior to attendance. Our aim is to make groups accessible to as many as possible and everybody can access their first session free of charge.
