Program details

Proactive Rehabilitation and Health offers a 12-week Falls Prevention Package that provides clients with comprehensive education and exercise strategies that help to reduce the risk of falls. Using specialised equipment, our highly experienced Exercise Physiologists will identify and address modifiable risk factors that are associated with a higher incidence of falls.

The package involves a one-on-one initial consultation with one of our Exercise Physiologists. During the consultation, clients will undertake a specialised stability assessment, Berg Balance Test, Timed Up and Go, 10-metre Walk Test, 5 Times Sit to Stand Test, and complete a Falls Efficacy Questionnaire. The Exercise Physiologist will use this data to quantify the falls risk of the client and identify modifiable risk factors and muscle weaknesses of key stabilisers. This will allow for the development of a specialised strength, stability, mobility, and balance program that will meet the needs of each client.
