Why falls happen
Falls are common, but not inevitable.
Many falls are linked to reduced leg strength, balance changes, dizziness, medications, vision problems and home hazards. One fall also raises the chance of another.
Research shows that targeted balance and strength exercise can significantly reduce falls in older adults.
Risk factors
Previous falls, unsteadiness, weak legs, dizziness, multiple medications and fear of falling.
Home safety
Lighting, rugs, stairs, bathroom set-up and footwear all make a difference.
Confidence
Fear of falling can limit activity. Training rebuilds trust in your balance.

Common questions
Good to know.
I haven’t fallen yet. Should I still come?
Yes. If you feel unsteady or worry about falling, prevention is the best time to start.
Can I do this at home?
Yes. We offer in-home visits and home exercise programs.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No. You can book directly with our physiotherapist. Some extended health plans ask for a referral before they reimburse, so it is worth checking your policy.
Do you direct bill insurance?
Yes, we direct bill many extended health providers and handle WCB and motor vehicle accident claims. Our front desk can confirm your coverage when you book.
