Today is World Physiotherapy Day and this year’s theme is the role of physiotherapy and physical activity in healthy ageing, with a focused look at preventing frailty and falls.

Did you know that falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospital admissions for older Australians? Every year, almost 1 in 3 Australians aged 65 and over experiences a fall, which can lead to serious health complications and a loss of independence. 😔
The good news? Falls are preventable, and simple lifestyle modifications can go a long way in ensuring safety and confidence. Here are some effective tips to help reduce the risk of falls for yourself or your loved ones:

Improve home safety
• Remove loose rugs or clutter that may cause trips.
• Use brighter lighting to eliminate dark areas.

Engage in strength and balance exercises
• Regular exercise and activity can help improve muscle strength, balance, and coordination.

Use assistive devices
• Walking aids like canes or frames can offer added stability.
• Non-slip footwear provides better grip and reduces the chance of slips.

At Lifecare Homecare, we’re committed to helping older Australians stay active and independent by providing personalised physiotherapy care.
