What to expect
Build confidence through capacity
Falls and reduced balance rarely have a single explanation. Assessment should reflect the person’s history, goals, environment and presentation, with objective measures selected where relevant.
Rehabilitation may target lower-limb strength, balance reactions, walking, conditioning, confidence or specific daily tasks. Progress is reassessed so improvement is visible and the next target is clear.

What to know
How can physiotherapy help with falls and balance?
Physiotherapy can assess contributing physical and functional factors, then progressively train strength, balance, mobility and confidence. Recommendations are individualised to the person and their environment.
Do I need to have fallen to benefit?
No. Changes in steadiness, confidence, strength or mobility can be addressed before a fall occurs.
