Falls and Balance Program
What is a Falls and Balance Program?
As we age our risk of falling increases, which can result in injuries and hospital admissions. We aim to reduce falls risk by improving strength and balance, as well as addressing factors that contribute to falls such as obstacles or inappropriate gait aids. Participants are coached through an individually tailored exercise program as well as prescribed a home program to perform independently.
