Rochford Place Falls Prevention – Week 7
Chronic Conditions & Falls Risk

🩺 Week 7 of our Falls Prevention Program at Rochford Place focused on how chronic conditions can impact falls risk. We explored the effects of diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and hypertension, and how these lifestyle diseases can influence balance, strength, and overall stability.

The session covered the signs and symptoms to look out for, especially those that may increase vulnerability to falls, as well as practical strategies to manage these conditions. By supporting better health outcomes, we can reduce the risk of falls and promote confidence in daily living.

Understanding the connection between chronic conditions and falls empowers us to take proactive steps towards healthier, safer ageing.

Rochford Place Falls Prevention – Week 5
Foot Health & Falls Prevention

👣 Week 5 of our Falls Prevention Program at Rochford Place was all about Foot Health & Falls Prevention — and how podiatry plays a vital role in keeping people mobile and steady on their feet.

We explored how changes in foot structure and sensation can increase fall risk, and the impact that proper foot care and footwear can have in keeping us steady on our feet. The session also covered practical strategies to support foot health and reduce the risk of tripping or slipping.

When we take care of our feet, we support our whole body, from the ground up.

Rochford Place Falls Prevention – Week 4
Improving Balance & Coordination

✨ Week 4 of our Falls Prevention Program at Rochford Place focused on Improving Balance & Coordination.

We explored practical ways to enhance stability through targeted exercises and everyday movement strategies. From standing balance drills to coordination-based challenges, residents were given simple tools to help reduce falls and improve confidence in daily movement.

💪 Building strength and coordination doesn’t have to be complicated — small, consistent changes can help maintain independence for longer.

Week 3 Recap: Falls Prevention Classes at Rochford Place 💪

Last week, we focused on Strength and Stability, exploring why these two areas are so important in reducing falls and maintaining independence as we age.

We unpacked the key components of strength and stability, looked at how they work together, and discussed practical ways to build them into daily life.

Our Exercise Physiologist, Stefan, then guided us through a targeted exercise session to help improve balance, control, and confidence.

Another great week of learning and moving together with the lovely residents of Rochford Place.

Falls Prevention Week 2 at Rochford Place – Ropes Crossing 💬

Last week was Week 2 of our 10-week Falls Prevention Program, and we had another great session with the Rochford Place crew!

We focused on how physiotherapy and mobility aids can help reduce the risk of falls. We looked at some interesting facts, talked through the benefits of using mobility aids, and how physios can support people to stay steady and independent. There was a lot of curiosity and great conversation as we went through different types of aids, from walking sticks to four-wheel walkers.

After the chat, we jumped into our weekly exercises, working on strength, balance, and confidence. It’s been so lovely seeing everyone get involved and supporting one another each week.

👣 Falls Prevention Program Begins at Rochford Place – Ropes Crossing 🪑✨

Last week, we kicked off Week 1 of our 10-week Falls Prevention Program here at Rochford Place — and what a fantastic start it was!

Through a mix of light movement, education, and good conversation, this initiative is all about helping residents stay strong, steady, and confident in their daily lives. Preventing falls isn’t just about exercise—it’s about empowering our community to feel safer, more independent, and better informed.

We’re so pleased to be working alongside the team at Keyton to bring this program into the heart of the community. Looking forward to sharing more as the weeks roll on! 💛

Proof that Physiotherapy doesn’t have to happen inside four walls.

One of the many benefits of a mobile service is flexibility, if doing your session in the park works best for you, we’re there. 🌿💪

We’re proud to be active members of the Blue Mountains Community Forum, a fantastic initiative that brings local services together to share, collaborate, and support our community.

At last week’s session, we had the opportunity to run a short spotlight presentation on Innovate Rehab. We spoke about our mobile allied health services and the benefits of a multidisciplinary approach.

We also shared a real-life case study to show how our team works together to achieve better outcomes and holistic care for the people we support.

Thanks to everyone who came along and connected with us.

We really value the opportunity to stay connected with other local providers and continue building strong, collaborative relationships across the community.

This Men’s Health Week, we’re highlighting the importance of staying strong and active as we age.

Healthy ageing isn’t just about living longer, it’s about living well. In our latest blog, we explore how movement, strength, and early support can make all the difference for men navigating later stages of life.

This is our small contribution to a bigger conversation happening this week, one about supporting the health and well-being of men in our communities.
