How to prevent a fall
As we get older or after an injury our ability to balance decreases. This means if we trip on uneven ground or wobble on an ankle we are then more likely to fall over rather than being able to catch our self and correct the wobble.
Things to look for in the home:
1. Have you got any loose rugs you could slip on?
2.Do you make sure you have well fitting slippers for indoors?
3. Don’t walk in a darkened room
4. Keeps floors clean and tidy
Below are some exercises to try which will help to improve your balance. Try to do the exercises everyday – once you are confident at doing the exercises you could try them whilst brushing your teeth as that will act as a good memory aid.

I've been seeing Homman for a few weeks. I could hardly walk with sciatica before going in. The treatment has been exceptional. … More He's very knowledgeable and puts you at ease. The front desk staff are always very helpful too. I fully recommend attend2health.

Having had problems with my shoulder/arm for over a year I went to Attend to Health and was seen by Giselle who did her best … More to sort me out.But she had to recommend me to see my GP, which resulted in me have neck surgery. Without her experience I would have still been suffering. Highly recommend them.

I’ve just had my first treatment with Ashleigh at Attend to Health. I’ve had pain in my neck, shoulder and arm for a long … More time now and after just one session with Ashley I’m blown away. She got straight to the problem and already I feel relief and less discomfort. She was unbelievable. I cannot wait until my next appointment.
