Day 2- Falls prevention. Strength matters.

💪 Strong legs = more independence

When we think about falls prevention, we often think about balance.

But as physios, we also want to talk about strength.

Your leg muscles help you:
🪑 Get up from a chair
🪜 Climb stairs
🚶 Walk safely
🛑 Recover when you lose your balance
🛒 Carry shopping
🛏️ Get in and out of bed

If your legs become weaker, everyday activities can become more challenging and your ability to react when you stumble can be reduced.

The good news?

Strength can be improved at any age.

You don't necessarily need a gym. Sit-to-stands, step-ups and other appropriately prescribed strengthening exercises can be incredibly useful.

If you're worried about your strength or balance, a physiotherapist can assess you and help create an exercise programme that's appropriate for you.

7 days of Falls prevention: a physios guide….

🦶 Today marks the start of falls prevention week.

As a physio one of the most common things I hear is:

“ falling is just part of getting old”

It isn’t.

Getting older can bring changes in strength, balance, vision, reaction times and mobility, but there are lots of things we can do to reduce the risk of falling and maintain independence.

💪 Build and maintain strength
⚖️ Challenge your balance
🚶 Keep moving
👟 Look after your feet and footwear
🏠 Make your environment safer
💊 Review anything that might be affecting your balance

And perhaps most importantly, don’t stop moving because you’re worried about falling.

The right type of exercise can actually help you become stronger, steadier and more confident.

This week I’ll be sharing some simple, practical falls-prevention advice from a physiotherapy perspective. Follow my page for more tips!

Today is world Osteoarthritis day!

Living with osteoarthritis doesn’t mean you have to stop doing the things you love.

There’s so much we now know about managing osteoarthritis symptoms, building confidence with movement, and finding ways to keep doing the things that matter to you.

A physiotherapist can help you understand your symptoms and develop your own personalised strategies and management skills to keep you moving and living life to the fullest.

If arthritis is affecting the things you enjoy, a physiotherapist could help you.

Get in touch today if you’d like some support managing your osteoarthritis symptoms and finding ways to keep doing what you love.

Today is World Osteoarthritis Day!

Osteoarthritis is a common condition that affects the joints. It tends to occur in people over the age of 45 and most often develops in the hips, knees, spine, hand joints and big toes.
