Balance & Falls Prevention Physiotherapy
Maintaining balance and confidence with movement is essential for staying independent as we age. At Functional Physio SA, we provide balance and falls prevention physiotherapy to help older adults improve strength, mobility and confidence.
Based in Torrensville, we support clients throughout Adelaide through personalised treatment programs designed around individual needs.

Falls can happen for many reasons, including changes in:
- Balance
- Muscle strength
- Vision
- Reaction speed
- Walking ability
- Confidence with movement

A physiotherapy assessment can identify factors contributing to falls risk and provide strategies to improve safety.

Falls prevention programs may include:
- Balance exercises
- Strength training
- Walking practice

- Home safety advice
- Equipment recommendations where appropriate
Programs are designed to improve confidence and help people remain active.
