As we age, the risk of falling becomes more serious—and more common. For older adults, a simple fall can lead to injury, loss of independence, or long-term complications.
But here’s the good news: physiotherapy can significantly reduce the risk of falls.
At Dynamic Health Therapy in Keswick, we work with seniors and their families to create personalized treatment plans that improve balance, strength, and confidence.
Why Fall Prevention Matters
Falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospital visits for people over 65.
Many falls are preventable, especially when risk factors are addressed early.
Common causes of falls include:
- Muscle weakness
- Poor balance or posture
- Joint stiffness
- Vision or hearing issues
- Medications or dizziness
- Unsafe home environments
Physiotherapy targets the physical issues at the root of many of these risks.
How Physiotherapy Helps
1. Improves Strength and Mobility
We use targeted exercises to rebuild muscle strength—especially in the legs, hips, and core—to support safer walking and standing.
2. Enhances Balance and Coordination
Balance training helps patients respond better to shifts in weight or surface changes, reducing the chance of falling.
3. Increases Flexibility and Range of Motion
Tight joints or reduced mobility can affect stability. Physiotherapy helps restore movement and posture.
4. Builds Confidence
Fear of falling can lead to less activity—which increases fall risk. Regular physiotherapy empowers seniors to move with more confidence.
