Qualified Physiotherapist Harwood

At Get Moving Physio, I understand the significant impact that falls can have on individuals’ lives, particularly in older adults. As an occupational therapist I have extensive experience in fall prevention and frailty care. I am passionate about helping you maintain mobility, prevent future falls, and improve your quality of life. I am also able to travel to you in Harwood or the surrounding Greater Manchester, so if you can’t make it to me, I’ll come to you.

I aim to provide comprehensive fall prevention therapy that addresses the physical, cognitive, and environmental factors contributing to falls. I take a proactive and multidisciplinary approach, working closely with other healthcare professionals and caregivers to ensure your safety and well-being.

Comprehensive Fall Risk Assessment

I will conduct a thorough assessment to identify your fall risk factors and the risk of falling. I will evaluate your balance, strength, bone health, flexibility, walking pattern, and overall functional abilities. This assessment allows me to develop a customised fall prevention plan that specifically targets your areas of need.

Improve Balance and Gait Training

As a physical therapist I can help improve your stability, coordination, and walking patterns through targeted balance and gait training exercises. I will guide you through exercises to enhance your balance control, reduce your fear of falling, and promote confident and safe mobility.

Strength and Conditioning Exercises

I incorporate strength and conditioning exercises into our fall prevention programs to improve your overall muscle strength, endurance, and power. Strengthening the muscles involved in balance and mobility can significantly reduce your fall risk. I will also develop a tailored exercise programme to build strength in key areas, such as the lower, core, and upper body.

Home Safety Evaluation

Preventing falls also involves addressing environmental hazards in your home. I will comprehensively evaluate your living environment to identify potential fall risks and any increased risk. I will provide recommendations and guidance on home modifications, such as removing obstacles, installing grab bars, improving lighting, and enhancing overall safety.

Fall Prevention Strategies

Falls can have significant and sometimes life-altering consequences, especially for older adults that might have arthritic pain or other issues like frozen shoulder. Research has shown that falls are the second leading cause of accidental or unintentional injury deaths worldwide. However, the good news is that many falls can be prevented through proactive strategies and interventions. As experts, we will explore a range of fall prevention strategies that can help you, particularly seniors, maintain their health, independence, and quality of life.

Prevent Falls and Serious Injury

Fall prevention is an essential aspect of healthcare, particularly for older adults. By implementing these strategies, individuals can reduce their risk of falls and enjoy a safer and more independent life. Remember, fall prevention is a proactive effort that involves regular assessments, lifestyle modifications, and ongoing communication with healthcare professionals.

Education and Risk Awareness

I believe in the power of education to empower individuals in fall prevention. I will provide valuable information and resources on fall prevention strategies, proper body mechanics, and how to react in emergencies. By increasing your awareness of fall risks and teaching you strategies to mitigate them, I aim to improve your confidence and safety.

If you require assistive devices, such as canes, walkers, or mobility aids, I will assess your needs and ensure proper fitting and training. I will guide you on safely and effectively using these devices to enhance your stability and independence.
