One of the biggest reasons older adults fall isn’t always a lack of strength.
It’s often because the body loses its ability to react quickly when balance is challenged.
Exercises like this are designed to safely improve those automatic reactions, helping people regain confidence and reduce their risk of falls.
At Evien Physiotherapy, we believe physiotherapy is about much more than exercise.
It’s about helping people continue doing the things that matter most to them—whether that’s walking to the local shops, spending time in the garden, keeping up with grandchildren, or simply feeling confident moving around their own home.
If you or someone you care about has become less steady on their feet, has had a recent fall, or is beginning to lose confidence with everyday activities, early support can make a real difference.

Have you noticed a loved one becoming less active or less confident?

People often think physiotherapy is only for recovery after injury or illness.
Whilst that is certainly one reason people contact us, it's not the only one.
In this short video, I explain the three most common reasons people contact Evien and how physiotherapy can help people maintain confidence, mobility and independence.
Stay Active. Recover Well. Remain Independent.

Hi, I’m Reuben.

Welcome to Evien Physiotherapy.

I work with older adults in their own homes and care homes across Berkshire and South Oxfordshire, helping them recover after illness, injury, surgery or a fall, and supporting them to stay as active and independent as possible.

Over the next few weeks, I’d like to share a little more about who I am, why I started Evien and some practical advice that I hope you’ll find helpful.

Thank you for being here.

Reuben

We had another great week at our free exercise class on Wednesday. We worked hard on our balance and strength, with a little bit of fun in between!
If you know someone in Wargrave, Twyford or the surrounding villages who could benefit from becoming a little more active in a welcoming and supportive environment, please let them know about us.
📍 Wargrave Parish Council Rooms (next to the cricket club)
🕥 Every Wednesday at 10:30 am
💙 Free to attend
Everyone is welcome—we'd love to see some new faces next week!
Drop me a message or give myself or Justin from Walfinch Home Care Reading and Wokingham a ring if you have any questions about the class.

🚶‍♀️ It's encouraging to see the NHS recognising the value of something as simple as walking.

Thirty minutes of walking each day may not sound revolutionary, but regular movement is one of the most effective ways to improve physical and mental health. It can help maintain strength, improve balance, support heart health and reduce the risk of falls as we age.

That said, it's important to remember that walking isn't the right starting point for everyone.

Many older adults leaving hospital, or those living with arthritis, Parkinson's, stroke or reduced mobility, need a personalised plan to build their confidence safely before increasing their activity levels.

As physiotherapists, we often remind people that exercise doesn't have to be complicated. The best exercise is the one that's safe, achievable and something you'll continue doing.

If initiatives like this encourage more people to move every day, that's a positive step. But for those who need extra support, the right guidance can make all the difference.

Know someone who would like to be more active but isn't sure where to start? Get in touch—we'd be happy to help!

The "marathon a month" scheme, developed with former Olympic medallist Sir Brendan Foster, will launch early next year.

Bringing a parent or loved one home from hospital can feel overwhelming.

Questions like:
❓ Will they be safe at home?
❓ How much help will they need?
❓ How can I support their recovery while managing my own responsibilities?

The first few weeks after discharge are often the most important for regaining strength, confidence, and independence.

We've put together 5 simple tips that can help make the transition from hospital to home a little smoother.

One thing we always encourage families to consider is physiotherapy. After a hospital stay, many older adults experience a loss of strength, balance, and mobility. Early rehabilitation can help them regain independence and reduce the risk of falls and further hospital admissions.
