Personalised Falls Assessment Package
Every individual’s mobility journey and falls history is unique. However, as part of our falls assessment package, we offer two seperate home visit assessments including Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy visits. This means you get a truly thorough and assessment, not just looking at any physical challenges for example, but by considering you as an individual, your routines, your environment and the activities that are important to you, we really can give you the best approach to managing your falls risk. After our initial assessment process we then devise a customised plan.
Expert Physiotherapy Intervention
Our team of skilled physiotherapists provides targeted interventions for mobility improvement and fall prevention. Our physiotherapists will look aat the physical aspects of your falls risk such as your mobility, balance and strength. We employ evidence-based techniques to ensure effective results.
Expert Occupational Therapy intervention
The cause of falls can be complex and there can often be multiple risk factors. As well as the physical difficulties mentioned above, there can often be other causes such as environmental hazards (rugs/pets etc), the environmental, as well as the need for equipment or home adaptations (such as rails, toileting aids etc) which can make life a bit easier and reduce our risk of falling.
Working together for your mobility needs.
What makes us so unique compared to other companies, is that we don’t look at mobility from just a physical perspective. We invite our Occupational Therapists to support with your rehabilitation needs as well as our Physiotherapists, so we are looking at, not just how you are walking, but other considerations such as where you are walking to, what activities are you engaging in whilst walkinng, the emotional and social benefits of walking and getting out.
Our therapists are happy to work on your unique mobility goals such as using a mobility scooter to carry a stick and walk around the local shops, or to walk to the bus stop to get a bus to meet a friend, to walk to the bathroom to shower independently and so on and so forth.
We really can work with you to meet your individual needs.
