Falls shouldn’t be an inevitable part of aging. At Haraka Physio, our specialist Fall Prevention Programme empowers seniors to move confidently while reducing fall risks. Conducted in your home, our 12-week evidence-based plan addresses balance, strength and home hazards – because 90% of falls are preventable with the right intervention (WHO data).
Our physiotherapists combine:
✓ Clinical balance assessments (Timed Up & Go Test)
✓ Tailored strength exercises for legs and core
✓ Home safety modifications (flooring, lighting advice)
✓ Gait retraining with assistive device recommendations
✓ Fear of falling management strategies
“Don’t Wait for a Fall – Build Your Confidence Today!”
