FORRM oatlands // balance & falls prevention
needing help with balance & falls prevention?
As one ages, maintaining balance and preventing falls becomes increasingly important to overall health and independence. At FORRM Strength and Recovery, located in Oatlands, NSW, we specialise in helping individuals improve their balance, strength, and coordination through expert Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology programs. Whether you’re recovering from a fall or looking to prevent one, our personalised care can help you stay steady on your feet and maintain your confidence.
Common Pain Points with Balance & Falls.
Fear of Falling: A previous fall or declining balance can lead to a fear of falling, which can cause individuals to limit their activity. This fear often results in a more sedentary lifestyle, leading to further muscle weakness and reduced mobility.
Muscle Weakness and Instability: As we age, muscle strength and coordination naturally decline, leading to a lack of stability when standing or walking. This can increase the risk of falls, particularly when navigating uneven surfaces or walking for longer distances.
Poor Coordination and Reflexes: Reduced coordination, slower reflexes, and difficulties with motor control can make it hard to react quickly and maintain balance. These issues are particularly challenging when moving from a seated to a standing position or when changing directions.
Loss of Confidence in Mobility: Many people with balance issues lose confidence in their ability to move safely. This lack of confidence can prevent them from engaging in activities they once enjoyed and may cause them to isolate themselves, further contributing to physical decline.
