What to do if you fall

If you are not hurt and you’re in a safe place, try to get up. The best way to do this is by rolling onto your hands and knees, then holding on to something that is stable like a bed or armchair. Try not to get up too quickly.
Even if you are not injured it’s a good idea to speak to your GP so you can discuss ways to reduce your risk of falling in the future. Having a personal alarm may be a good idea.
If you are unable to get up or you’re injured, you could bang on the wall or floor to try to attract the attention of neighbours or passers-by. Many areas have a falls response service which you can call if you don’t have serious injuries.
While waiting for help to arrive, try to keep warm by covering yourself with something in reach like a coat, blanket or rug. If you can and it’s not too painful, try to keep moving which will keep you warm and maintain blood flow.

Tips on what shoes to wear and how to walk

Problems with your feet and footwear can stop you getting out and about. These tips can help you feel steadier:

• Report problems with your feet to your doctor or practice nurse
• Keep your toenails short
• Always wear shoes, sandals or slippers. Don’t walk indoors with bare feet, tights or socks
• Wear shoes that fit well with high sides and low heels
• Don’t wear high heels
• Make sure your clothing doesn’t trail on the floor.
• The best way to walk to prevent falls:
• Keep your head up, look forward and not at the ground
• Your neck, shoulders and back are relaxed, not stiffly upright
• Swing your arms freely with a slight bend in your elbows.
• Keep your stomach muscles slightly tightened, and your back straight
• Walk smoothly, rolling your foot from heel to toe.

How do I stay motivated?

Sometimes it can seem like a lot of effort to start doing more, so a good way to get started is to try different activities and find something you enjoy and works for you.
Getting a dog is a good idea as not only will it provide company, it will also give you a reason to walk every day.

Why is it important to stay active as we age?

As we get older many of us start to feel a bit unsteady on our feet and become worried about falling. However, there are simple things you can do to feel more confident and avoid a slip or fall.
You might be reluctant to ask for help. You might worry that accepting help will make you less independent. But really, admitting that things have changed and doing something about it could help you stay independent for longer.
It might feel as if moving less will help you avoid a fall. But, moving more and staying active is actually the best thing you can do to stay as mobile and independent as possible.
Activities that improve your strength and balance are particularly important as you get older because they can help your posture and co-ordination, so climb the stairs frequently, rise slowly and repeatedly to a standing position from a chair, start walking, playing badminton, dancing or practising yoga and take part in special strength and balance exercise classes, tai chi classes or exercise to music classes. If you have a condition that causes joint pain doing exercises that improve muscle strength and balance can be helpful.
