People are participating in a strength and balance exercise programme which has been shown to help reduce their risk of falling as well as helping them with day-to-day activities.
Powys Teaching Health Board has a network of Nurses, Physiotherapists, Pharmacists, Occupational Therapists and Doctors working together with older people to reduce the risk of falls and fractures.
Let your GP or District Nurse know if you have a fall or feel you would benefit from the Falls Prevention Service and ask for a falls prevention assessment.
