Did You Know?

Nearly 80% of falls happen at home.

Around 1 in 3 adults aged 65+ experience a fall each year.

Falls are one of the leading causes of injury and hospitalisation in older adults.

Hip and wrist fractures are common, and many people are unable to get up independently after a fall.

While we can’t prevent every fall, we can improve how your body responds.

Why I Created the Learn to Fall Programme

This programme is personal to me.

I’ve been training in Taekwondo for the past three years, where I’ve trained alongside older adults — including one gentleman in his early 70s. During a spinning kick, he lost his balance, fell, and calmly stood back up.

That moment stayed with me.

It made me realise that balance reactions, bone resilience, and recovery skills can be trained. With the right guidance, our bodies can learn to respond better and more safely.

My goal isn’t to ask clients to wear helmets at home or endlessly perform squats without learning how to protect themselves. I want them to understand how to dissipate force, protect their head and vulnerable areas, and respond intelligently if a fall does happen.

We cannot prevent everything in life. But if something does happen, we can prepare our bodies to minimise the damage. Like we wear seatbelts not because we plan to crash, but because we prepare for the unexpected.

How This Programme Is Different

Traditional falls prevention focuses on strength, balance, and reducing risk factors. However, they rarely include structured perturbation-based training. You can’t teach someone to drive just by showing them driving videos — they need to practise it themselves.

Therefore, this programme is designed to go one step further — we practise safer responses and train them repeatedly until they become muscle memory.

Alongside strength and balance training, we practise:

• Controlled descent strategies

• Safe landing and protective responses

• Floor confidence and recovery skills

• Reactive stepping and balance reactions

And more — contact us to find out how this programme can support you.

This is not martial arts training — it is physiotherapy‑guided training, helping your body develop safer, more automatic responses.

Who May Benefit?

This programme may be suitable for adults aged 60 and above, especially those who:

• Have experienced previous falls

• Feel fearful of falling

• Struggle to get up from the floor

• Have reduced confidence with mobility

• Want to move more freely — even to play with grandchildren on the floor

All participants undergo a physiotherapy assessment to ensure suitability. The programme is individually tailored and progressed safely. It is not appropriate for everyone, and screening is essential.

What’s Included

Part 1 – Fall Risk Assessment

Home environment review, mobility testing (e.g. functional mobility assessment), strength and balance evaluation, blood pressure screening, and footwear and walking aid review.

Part 2 – Fall Rehabilitation & Skill Training

Strength and conditioning, balance retraining, floor recovery practice, and graded exposure to controlled descent and safe landing strategies (where appropriate).

Part 3 – Referral if needed

If needed, we work collaboratively with Occupational Therapists to assist with more complex home modifications and equipment prescription, ensuring your home supports your safety and independence.

Referrals for further investigations, such as bone density (DEXA) scans, may also be recommended when appropriate.

Delivered in Your Home

Because your home is where most falls happen — and where real life happens.

After surgery, the right rehabilitation can make all the difference in how safely and confidently you return to everyday life — especially if you need to get back to granny duties. We provide personalised post-operative physiotherapy for a range of orthopaedic procedures, with treatment tailored to your stage of healing, your surgeon’s protocol, and your goals.

We commonly help clients recover from:

• Total Knee Replacement

• Total Hip Replacement

• Hip Fracture Fixation — ORIF

• Shoulder Replacement

• Rotator Cuff Repair

Your rehab may include hands-on treatment, mobility work, strengthening, balance training, walking retraining, home exercises, and guidance to help you progress at the right pace.

Dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems can make everyday life feel unpredictable — from turning in bed and walking through busy places to driving, working, or simply feeling steady on your feet. Vestibular rehabilitation provides targeted physiotherapy to help identify the cause of your symptoms and guide you back to moving with more confidence.

We support people experiencing:

• BPPV

• Vestibular neuritis

• Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness — PPPD

• Vestibular migraine

• Balance disorders

• Inner ear–related dizziness

• Tinnitus-related concerns

Treatment is tailored to your symptoms and may include repositioning manoeuvres, gaze stability exercises, balance retraining, and gradual movement exposure. We also work collaboratively with GPs, ENT specialists, surgeons, and audiologists to support coordinated care when needed.

General physiotherapy is for anyone dealing with pain, stiffness, weakness, injury, or reduced movement that affects daily life. Whether it’s a recent sprain, back or neck pain, a flare-up, a sports injury, or an ongoing issue that hasn’t fully settled, treatment is tailored to your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals.

Your appointment may include a thorough assessment, hands-on treatment, exercise rehabilitation, movement advice, and practical strategies to help you recover, manage symptoms, and prevent things from recurring.

This service is also ideal if you’re looking for a second opinion — especially if you’ve been told different things, feel unsure about your diagnosis, or want a clearer plan moving forward.

We commonly help with:

• Back and neck pain

• Shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle pain

• Muscle strains and ligament sprains

• Sports and gym injuries

• Work-related aches and postural pain

• Persistent or recurring pain

• Mobility, strength, and balance concerns

The goal is simple: to help you understand what’s going on, feel more confident in your body, and get back to the activities that matter to you.
