Latest SPHC FAQ 🧐

Q- How can my loved one benefit from Balance classes?🧘‍♀️

A - Did you know that falls are the most common cause of hospitalisation in people over 65? Many believe that falls are just a normal part of ageing — but that’s simply not true.

Poor balance, weak muscles, stiff joints, slower reaction times, dizziness, tiredness, and even vision changes all contribute to falls — but the good news is, these can all be improved!

💪 At SPHC, our Step-Safe Balance Classes are designed by physiotherapists to:
✅ Challenge the body systems that control balance
✅ Improve ankle and joint flexibility
✅ Increase lower limb and core strength
✅ Boost confidence in everyday movement
✅ Reduce your risk of falls and fractures

Our classes are safe, supportive, and tailored to your level. Whether you've had a fall before or just want to stay steady on your feet, now is the time to take action.

🌍 It’s World Osteoporosis Day today - 20th October

Did You Know? Worldwide, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50 will suffer an osteoporotic fracture.

Osteoporosis weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break — even from something as simple as a minor fall, a bump, a sneeze, or a sudden movement. These fractures can be life-threatening and are a leading cause of chronic pain and long-term disability.

Protect your bone health — awareness and early action make a difference. 💪🦴
