Friendlies Physiotherapy & Allied Health have launched a new program aimed at helping patients to prevent falls.
The Falls Prevention and Exercise Program focuses on standing and endurance exercises so participants can work on:
- Upper Limb Strength
- Lower Limb Strength
- Core Stability
- Balance
All classes will be supervised by both a physiotherapist and personal trainer, to ensure you get the most out of each class.
This class is great for people with
- Pre and post joint replacement
- Post fracture
- History of falls/fear of falling
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Muscle weakness of the legs or feet
- Reduced balance
- General decline in mobility
- diabetes
- Numbness in legs/feet
Patients receiving NDIS funding, with allocation for therapeutic supports, may be eligible to claim classes under their NDIS funding. Speak to our staff for more details.
Classes are just $15, which may be claimable on Private Health Extras. We recommend participants attend 10 classes over 5 weeks.
Please note, that participants must have a physio assessment before starting the class. The cost of the assessment includes your first class.
