Falls Prevention Programme

At Thrive Health Group, our registered physiotherapists provide one-on-one, personalised falls programmes to our clients to minimise the risk of falling. In addition to our physiotherapy at home services, we also offer complementary treatments such as massage therapy and occupational therapy to enhance overall wellness and stability. 

In the UK, about one-third of people aged 65 and over, and roughly half of those aged 80 and over, will experience at least one fall each year. Each year in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland over 70,000 people suffer a hip fracture, most commonly as a result of a fall. A hip fracture is one of the most serious injuries older adults can sustain and is the leading cause of emergency surgery, long hospital stays, and loss of independence. 

At Thrive Health Group, we want to support our clients in taking control and maintaining their independence by getting stronger and well-balanced through this comprehensive programme.

Individuals who have a history of falling, those who are fearful of falling, and those who want to take action before they fall can benefit from massage therapy, occupational therapy, and physiotherapy at home to minimize the risk of future incidents.

Our physiotherapists will: 

• Complete a comprehensive falls assessment 

• Develop a tailored rehabilitation plan for the 6-week programme, incorporating aspects of physiotherapy at home to enhance your comfort and convenience. 

• Progress exercises as you get stronger and more confident, possibly integrating techniques from massage therapy and occupational therapy. 

• Check in regularly with you via telephone and follow up visits to ensure your recovery is on track. 

• Communicate clearly with families, carers, and health teams to provide comprehensive support.

This programme is designed to be completed in the comfort of your own home, eliminating the need to travel to falls prevention groups or clinics for advice. With a personalised treatment plan that includes elements of massage therapy, occupational therapy, and physiotherapy at home, we aim to significantly reduce your risk of falling. You will benefit from regular check-ins throughout the programme, ensuring better results through real-life practice in your own environment. This approach reduces anxiety, effort, and travel, while providing immediate insights into your home layout, mobility challenges, and support needs. 

Let us help you restore strength and confidence at home.
