Have You Had a Fall or Are You Worried About Falling?
Falls Prevention Could Help You Stay Strong, Independent, and Confident
Falls are more common than many people realise—and they can have serious consequences. In fact, 1 in 3 adults over the age of 65 will experience a fall each year. The good news? Many of these falls are preventable with the right support and early intervention.
Why Is Falls Prevention So Important?
As we age, changes in our balance, muscle strength, and bone health can increase the risk of falling. A fall can lead to injuries, hospital stays, and a loss of confidence. But taking action early can make a world of difference.
Here’s why falls prevention matters:
- It helps you stay independent and confident in your daily life.
- It can prevent injuries that may limit your mobility or lead to hospitalisation.
- Early support from allied health professionals can reduce your risk and help you age safely at home.
Signs You Might Benefit from a Falls Prevention Program
You don’t have to wait for a serious fall to seek help. Here are some signs it may be time to take action:
