❤ To meet our Physiotherapists, please call on 01795 606066 or 01622 942033 and we will be happy to arrange this for you!

😒 A simple accident such as slipping on a wet floor or tripping up a step can potentially change your life. You start avoiding activities that you see as ‘risky’, such as walking, shopping, or even socialising. You’d rather play it safe and stay at home. Sound familiar?
About 1 in 3 adults over the age of 65 have at least one fall per year.

👨‍⚕️ Our therapists have the experience of many years of consultations and thousands of conversations with people who have injured themselves following a slip, trip, or fall. We decided to collect our experience to share with you.

👩‍⚕️ Anagha in her presentation gives us a complete guide on where we should check the hazards and how to minimize them in order to prevent falls.
