Falls are a serious problem in all age groups, but particularly as you get older. Unfortunately, 1 in 3 people over 65 will fall and that number increases with age.

Falls increase your risk of injury and dying younger, and can make you feel isolated, anxious and depressed. In addition, older people who fall are more likely to move into aged care facilities.

Therefore, it’s important you take steps to reduce your falls risk.  At Focal Allied Health we can assess you for risks of falling and provide you with a management plan to reduce those risks.
