A group of physiotherapy students from the University of Greater Manchester recently visited Speakeasy to run a falls prevention session

 

Did  you  know  that   1  in  3  people  over  65  will  fall  within  a  year.

 

Knowing  how  to  prevent  falls  is  really   important.

 

Knowing  what  to  do  if  you  or  someone  you  are  with  falls  is  also  important.

 

The  students  talked  about  this  and  also  showed  us  some  practical   exercises  to  improve  balance, 

 

flexibility  and   strength.
