Falls Prevention & Balance Training
Strength and balance training to keep you steady, confident and independent on your feet, for older adults and anyone at risk of falls.
Falls are one of the most common reasons older adults lose confidence and independence, but they're often preventable. The good news is that the right strength and balance training makes a real difference, at any age.
At Select Physiotherapy in Hamilton, we assess what's affecting your balance and build a programme to improve your strength, steadiness and confidence, so you can keep doing the things you enjoy, safely.
Why it matters
Strength & balance is proven to reduce falls
Regular, progressive strength and balance training is one of the best-supported ways to lower the risk of falls and stay independent for longer.
What's involved
How we help you stay steady
Every programme is tailored to your balance, strength and goals, starting with a proper assessment.
Balance & falls-risk assessment
We start by understanding your balance, strength and what's putting you at risk, so your programme targets the things that actually matter for you.
Strength & balance programme
A progressive, evidence-based programme that builds leg strength and balance, the two things most strongly linked to staying steady on your feet.
Confidence & everyday activity
We help you move with more confidence through the everyday things (stairs, getting up from a chair, walking outdoors), not just exercises in isolation.
Practical home safety advice
Simple, practical advice on reducing hazards at home, because preventing falls is about your environment as well as your strength.
