What is falls prevention physio?

Falls prevention programs take a holistic approach to reducing your risk of falls, helping your stay strong, steady, and independent. Richard provides falls prevention physiotherapy in Sydney, assessing both physical and environmental risk factors that contribute to falls.

This includes:

  • Assessing your home for trip hazards

  • Understanding your health, mobility, and exercise history

  • Developing a personalised exercise plan to improve strength, balance, and confidence

How can falls prevention help you?

The Falls Network estimates that 30% of adults aged 65 and over experience at least one fall per year. They can have a significant impact on your strength, mobility, and independence—but they are not an inevitable part of aging.

By staying active, improving balance, and reducing hazards at home, you can maintain independence and continue making a meaningful contribution to your community. Richard can help you with preventing falls by focusing on:

  • Strength and balance exercises to reduce the risk of falls

  • Home safety assessments to remove trip hazards

  • Everyday confidence-building and falls prevention strategies
