What to expect from a session with a Move Healthcare Physiotherapist

If you’re concerned about falls and want to take proactive steps to prevent them, seeing a physiotherapist can be a great place to start. At Move Healthcare, our physiotherapists specialise in working with older adults and have extensive experience in falls prevention. Here’s what you can expect from a session with one of our physiotherapists:

  1. Assessment

During your first session, we will perform an assessment to determine your level of risk for falls. We will ask you about your medical history, medications, and any past falls or injuries. We may also conduct a physical examination to assess your balance, strength, and mobility.

  1. Individualised treatment plan

Based on the results of your assessment, we will work with you to develop an individualised treatment plan. This plan may include exercises to improve your strength and balance, modifications to your home environment to reduce fall risk, and education on fall prevention strategies.

  1. Ongoing support

Falls prevention is an ongoing process, and we will be there to support you every step of the way. We may recommend follow-up sessions to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

At Move Healthcare, we believe in taking a holistic approach to falls prevention. In addition to exercise and home modifications, we also consider other factors that can contribute to falls, such as vision and medication use. We work closely with our clients and their families/carers to provide comprehensive falls prevention care.
