Falls Prevention

There are a number of reasons people may fall, it could be impaired balance as a result of a health condition, it could be due to anxiety or even due to certain medications. Regardless it doesn’t make it less worrying and the effects of a fall can be long lasting. Did you know that people who worry about falling are actually more likely to fall than those who don’t? Falling can knock your confidence and may lead to you being more cautious and not moving properly or even moving less, which can make you weaker. We aim to break this cycle early, giving you the confidence to move without the worry.

 

Our specialist falls physiotherapists will explore the reasons for your falls in depth and provide an analysis or explanation as to why this might be happening and, more importantly, what you can do about it.

 

We may provide you with exercises, advice on walking aids and your environment, onward referral for further investigation or possibly discuss medication management with your GP. You can be sure the advice will be individual to you and, providing you follow the advice, effective in helping you to improve your physical condition/manage risks and reduce your frequency of falls.

"Foundations Physio give people their independence and confidence back. As a carer I see the impact the physio sessions have on the residents. It motivates people to keep moving forward, gives them hope and encourages them to think positively."
Gracewell Carer
"I cannot recommend Foundations Physio highly enough! The team have been visiting residents in our home since June 2014 when we first opened our doors. The difference that they have made, not only to the physical well being but also to the psychological and emotional well being of the residents here is truly outstanding."
Sharon ParkinCare Home Manager
"I can’t tell you how pleased I am to have met Adam. He was there for through some really rough times with helpful advice and support. My MS was really getting me down and I now have some useful aids and a new support group that Adam introduced me to. My family would also like to thank the Foundations Physio team for their encouragement and positivity."
Jackie
"The team have an excellent collaborative demeanour, bringing their encouragement, experience and analysis to bear on every aspect of my rehabilitation process. I wasn’t sure at the beginning what Foundations Physio would bring beyond what my NHS physio was providing, but I’m now convinced my progress has been much quicker thanks to their input."
Neil
"Adam has been my father’s physio for over a year and the care and attention he has shown has been excellent. We were fortunate to meet Adam a couple of years ago through the NHS and have subsequently used Foundations Physio on a private one to one basis; the incredibly high level of care has been absolutely super."
Sharon
"Adam was my Physio whilst I was in a rehabilitation unit and then subsequently when I was at first at home. I could not stand up, let alone walk when he first started helping me. He was very caring, supportive, encouraging and pushed me to do things that I did not really believe that I could do. So now after a further 9 months, I feel that I am really leading a fairly normal life again and am not sure that would have happened without his initial support and care."
Judith
"I used Foundations Physio to help with a mobility issue my Mum had, they were recommended to me from a another resident at the care home, after an initial consultation in which was Mum was fully assessed, Mum then underwent weekly appointments in which great progress was made, Kelly and Ben managed to break the cycle and install confidence in Mum, she is now able to stand without help and is back walking again with her frame. Extremely pleased with the level of service from Foundations Physio."
Mary’s family
"We just wanted to say how wonderfully Amado and the wider Foundations team have been running our classes for People with Parkinson’s. Creating a fun, energetic and inclusive atmosphere for all our members, thank you! "
