Falls Prevention Physiotherapy in Lambourn, Hungerford and Newbury

Falls are one of the leading causes of injury in older adults, yet many falls are preventable.

At Kerry Read Physio, I provide community based falls prevention physiotherapy across Lambourn, Hungerford and Newbury, helping people stay independent and confident at home.

Why Falls Happen

Falls rarely have just one cause. They’re often linked to:

• Muscle weakness

• Reduced balance

• Joint stiffness

• Poor footwear

• Medication side effects

• Reduced confidence after a previous fall

According to NHS England, falls are a major cause of emergency hospital admissions in older adults.

Early physiotherapy intervention can significantly reduce risk.

How Physiotherapy Prevents Falls

A tailored falls prevention programme may include:

✔ Strength Training

Focusing on hips, knees and ankles.

✔ Balance Exercises

Improving reaction time and stability.

✔ Gait Assessment

Identifying walking pattern changes.

✔ Home Safety Advice

Reducing trip hazards in your environment.

As a community physiotherapist in West Berkshire, I assess balance in your actual home — which is far more effective than clinic-based assessment alone.
