Falls

---

 Falls are not an inevitable part of ageing — many falls can be prevented.
A geriatrician can identify the medical, physical and environmental factors that may be increasing your risk of falling. We review balance, walking, strength, blood pressure, vision, medications and previous falls.
Treating problems such as dizziness, low blood pressure, weakness or medication side effects can improve confidence and stability.

We can assess bone health and osteoporosis to reduce the risk of serious injury if a fall occurs.
Exercise, particularly strength and balance training, can help people remain mobile and independent.
Walking aids and home modifications can provide extra confidence without unnecessarily limiting independence.

We work with physiotherapists, occupational therapists and other health professionals when additional support is helpful. 

The aim is to help you keep moving, stay active and continue doing the things you enjoy.
Our goal is simple: fewer falls, greater confidence and independence for longer.
