We do this by improving\u00a0balance, strength and confidence.<\/p>\n<p>Falls are a major health concern for the ageing population. At least one-third of people over the age of 65 fall once or more every year. Falls can result in serious injuries, a significant knock to confidence and a reduction in activity levels and quality of life. Evidence based research \u00a0has proven that correctly designed physiotherapy exercises are highly effective in reducing the incidence of falls.<\/p>\n<p>We run specially designed and fun classes for patients who are keen to improve their balance, strength and confidence on their feet. We go through a detailed 1:1 assessment with each patient, which includes:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; looking for any reasons why they may be falling or feeling unsteady<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; getting a baseline measure of ability level and creating a plan for improvement<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; discussing any specific goals that they may have<\/p>\n<p>All assessments and classes are claimable on the spot with most private health funds, so please bring your card with you to each session.<\/p>\n<p>If you require any further information, or would like to book an assessment, please call us and we would be happy to help<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_cta global_module=&#8221;314&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; button_url=&#8221;http:\/\/qvla.org.au\/wordpress\/contact-us\/&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Click Here to Book an Appointment&#8221; use_background_color=&#8221;on&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;off&#8221; button_letter_spacing=&#8221;0&#8243; button_use_icon=&#8221;default&#8221; button_icon_placement=&#8221;right&#8221; button_on_hover=&#8221;on&#8221; button_letter_spacing_hover=&#8221;0&#8243; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Falls Prevention and Balance Retraining At Avalon Physiotherapy and Clinical Pilates, we are very passionate about helping people to reduce their risk of having a fall.
