1 in 3 adults over 65 falls at least once a year, and the consequences can be serious:
fractures, loss of independence, and fear of moving freely.

The good news? Most falls can be prevented with the right approach to strength, balance, and your environment.

We believe that growing as clinicians means better outcomes for our patients. 
 
Cara recently attended a course on the Neurosensory Aspects of Concussion (Physiotherapy Assessment and Rehabilitation).
She has recently passed that knowledge on to the rest of the team. 
 
Concussion is SO much more than a knock to the head, and understanding the neurosensory system is key to truly helping our patients recover.

Great evening with the Table View Run/Walk for Life club chatting about plantar fasciitis and some practical exercises to help manage and prevent it 👣

We covered a few simple things they can build into their routine—stretching, strengthening, and small tweaks that can make a real difference to a condition that can be very frustrating!

Such a fun and friendly bunch—thanks so much for having me!
