Why I created Ageing Strong – Falls Prevention Physiotherapy

Around the time my youngest daughter Rosie turned one (now 17 months old), I found myself asking: "What’s next?"

Working part-time as a Falls Prevention Coordinator for Southern NSW Local Health District, I’ve become increasingly aware of the gaps in community-based falls prevention services — particularly here in the Bega Valley. With 40% of the local population aged over 60, and data showing that 1 in 4 people over 60 experience at least one fall each year, it’s clear that more falls prevention support is needed.

That’s when the idea for Ageing Strong began to take shape.

Ageing Strong is a community-based falls prevention program for anyone aged 60 or over who has concerns about their mobility, balance, or strength — especially those who are fearful of falling, at risk of falling, or already having falls.

Participants can self-refer or be referred by a health practitioner.

Meet Anastasia (or Annie) – the physiotherapist behind Ageing Strong!

Welcome! I'm Annie, a physiotherapist on the far south coast of NSW. I have worked in the falls prevention physiotherapy scope of practice for the past 4 years. Now, I am excited to bring my knowledge and skills to the wider community to help individuals prevent falls and stay active and healthy as they age.

The Ageing Strong Falls Prevention Program follows best practice guidelines to prevent falls. It is designed for individuals aged 60 and older who have issues with mobility, strength, and balance—especially those who are fearful of falling, at risk of falling, or experiencing falls at home or in the community. The program includes the following service options: at-home consultations, an 8-week group education and exercise program, and a maintenance group exercise class.

Outside of Ageing Strong, you'll find me juggling life as a mum of two very energetic girls (aged 1 and 3), working part-time at Pambula District Hospital, supporting my husband's property maintenance business (Storeys Property Maintenance), and running around our beautiful coastal areas to help clear my head and stay fit.

I look forward to getting to know you! Like this post, and let's work together to prevent falls and improve your overall health and wellbeing.
