Falls Prevention

 

Falls Prevention in Meltham

  • Did you know that 50% of all people over 80 and 30% of people over 65 fall every year?
  • After the first fall, two thirds will fall again within the year.
  • 95% of hip fractures are as a result of a fall.
  • Exercise-based physiotherapist-led programmes have been shown to be effective in reducing falls and fall-related broken bones.

Our physiotherapists are experienced in working with patients to improve balance, increase strength, and minimise risks to reduce the chance of falling. You can find out more in our blog post here.

Building on the success of our Falls Prevention Group Workshops that took place in 2023, we are now offering bespoke clinic-based Falls Prevention Sessions with our experienced physiotherapists. These will take place within our well-equipped physiotherapy clinic in Meltham. These sessions are available on a 1:1 or 2:1 basis and involve:

  • in-depth assessment
  • advice and falls-risk education
  • a bespoke progressive exercise programme we will work with you on over a number of sessions
  • all equipment provided

These weekly sessions are available to book in blocks of 4.

Please note: A minimum of 4 weeks is required to achieve any benefit from the sessions, so this offer is available for 4-week-blocks. Clinical evidence does recommend that weekly sessions over 12 weeks provides the most likely chance of improvement, but progress will be reviewed at the end of 4 weeks and the opportunity given to book further blocks depending on the needs and wishes of the patient.
