The reality of falling
A fall can affect much more than your physical health. It can reduce confidence, make everyday activities feel more difficult, and sometimes lead to people becoming less active because they are worried about falling again.
The good news is that there are practical steps you can take to reduce your risk of falling and maintain your independence. Improving strength, balance and mobility, alongside identifying potential risks around the home, can help you feel safer and more confident in your everyday life.
