Falls Prevention

Falls can result in long term disability and significantly affect the quality of life for the elderly. An Exercise Physiologist can prescribe and supervise specific exercise programs that can reduce the risk of falls in both healthy elderly people and those with other ailments. More active people experience fewer falls, however simply encouraging elderly people to be more active is not enough. Specific balance exercise that are appropriately challenging need to be completed on a regular basis for a significant reduction in falls to occur. 

At SAEXP we work with each person to prescribe an individualised program best suited to you. We offer –  program prescription to be self-managed, private 1-on-1 sessions as well as small group exercise classes as part of our fall prevention exercise program.
