If you have fallen over it is very tempting to simply think it is nothing to worry about and it won’t happen again. Or you believe that everyone your age is prone to falling…
There is no reason why it happened, but then it happens again!

A fall is one of the main indicators that you will again. Sedentary behaviour is also a risk factor for falling.
If you are worried about falling again then you are not alone. We hear this all the time. It is the biggest factor for people to start to do less and end up stopping doing the activities they enjoy.

People we see who are falling over always want to know:

Why am I falling over?

Why can’t I do what I used to be able to?

Most people think that when they fall it won’t happen again. But then 6 months later it has happened again… probably more than once.

Does that sound familiar?

Something else we see far too often is when someone talks to us concerned due to their family telling them that it is unsafe for them to do this, or even tell you to get costly care companies to look after them.

This advice is often a poor solution because it means you never get back to doing what you love in life and you end up doing less to simply make sure you don’t fall over again.

Has the GP or a falls clinic looked at your medication, told you to be more careful, use a frame or walker and tell you there is nothing more that can be done? Yet you are still struggling and no better off?

Has this happened to you?

It is very easy to get confused with lots of different information you get told from lots of different people. A lot of people are happy to give you advice but not all of it is reliable and trustworthy.

You may think the reason you are falling is because you are “getting old”, or a “trip” that could happen to anyone. In reality age and “a simple trip” is years of different factors accumulating such as illnesses, retirement, aches and pains, arthritis and age or tripping is the result of these life experiences.

If you don’t know what to do then falling can be very confusing and this simple fact is why many people end up believing it to be a part of getting older and inevitable.

Do you feel like that too?

If you are afraid of falling or worried you will fall again here are 6 more reasons why it could be continuing to be a problem:

Reason 1

"You thought it would simply stop being an issue – but it hasn’t"

Reason 2

"You saw the doctor who told you to be careful and accept more help – but you are still struggling just as much"

Reason 3

"You have seen other physios or healthcare professionals previously – but nothing they said or did seemed to help"

Reason 4

"You have stopped taking part in your hobbies to reduce your risk of falling – but now everything seems even more difficult"

Reason 5

"You have a care package in place – But are concerned for the 23 hours a day that they aren’t there."

Reason 6

"You thought buying a walker would solve the problem – But now you feel even more dependent on others and are petrified to go anywhere without it and are convinced you will fall if you take a few steps without the walker."
