Stay Steady Clinics

Stay Steady Clinics

As we age, we may start to find that we become a little unsteady or don’t feel as strong as we used to.

Other things can be happening at the same time, like more use of medications or eyesight changing.

This can mean that we become more at risk of having a fall, which although for many people may not result in significant injury, it can mean that it will happen again.

We know that a third of people aged over 65 will fall every year. However, the good news is that falls are not an inevitable part of ageing, and many are preventable.

In Cardiff, Cardiff & Vale University Health Board operate Stay Steady Clinics, run by falls specialist physiotherapists, who can provide assessments and then advice on falls risk reduction.
