Falls can result in permanent disability, restriction of activity, loss of confidence and fear of falling, all of which reduce quality of life and independence resulting in a premature need for nursing home care.
AEP’s Exercise Physiologists can assist you through the development of an individualised exercise program to improve muscular strength, balance, confidence and walking speed.
If a specific injury has contributed to a reduction in balance, AEP’s Physiotherapists can help to reduce pain and improve joint mobility. A combination of Physiotherapy treatment and an individualised exercise program can be the best intervention to significantly reduce the risk of falls.
