What We Help
Physiotherapy for Falls and Balance Problems
Falls are more common than you might think, especially as we age.
Did you know that 1 in 3 people over the age of 65 experience a fall each year? And it’s not just the physical impact that matters, a fall can really affect your confidence too. In fact, research shows that the fear of falling can actually increase the risk of it happening again. Worry often leads to less movement, which can cause muscle weakness and a growing hesitation around everyday tasks.
At Norwich Home Physiotherapy, our aim is to help you break that cycle. We’ll work with you to build strength, improve balance, and develop simple, effective strategies to stay safe at home and out in the community. Just as importantly, we’ll support you in regaining your confidence, so you can keep doing the things you enjoy, without fear holding you back.
The good news? Evidence shows that combining targeted exercise with fall prevention techniques can reduce the risk of future falls by up to 54%. With the right support, staying steady and independent is absolutely possible.
