Strong On Your Feet

8 week program individually designed to help prevent falls in our older population

Falls

Falls are a common problem for older people and are one of the main causes of hospitalisation in the over 65 years age group.

There are many causes of falls.

Risk factors include:
Poor eyesight
Poor fitting footwear
Environmental hazards
Chronic health problems
Taking multiple medications

Many people think that falls are a part of getting older, but they are not a normal part of ageing. Many falls can be prevented and ageing does not have to mean a loss of independence.

Falls Prevention classes are an effective way to reduce your falls risk and help you to live a safe and active lifestyle.
