About FALL RISK & BALANCE PROBLEMS
Physiotherapy for Better Balance & Fall Prevention. Poor balance, reduced strength, changes in walking or difficulty getting up and moving around can increase the risk of falls—especially as we age. Regular geriatric physiotherapy can help older adults stay active, mobile and independent.
