Mobility, Balance & Falls Prevention Physiotherapy

Lake Gwelup Physiotherapy provides mobility, balance and falls prevention physiotherapy for patients in Gwelup and across Perth’s northern suburbs, including Karrinyup, Stirling, Carine, Innaloo and Balcatta.

Maintaining mobility, strength and balance is important for confidence and independence with everyday activities. Physiotherapy may form part of a structured approach to improving movement, stability and functional capacity, and may assist in reducing the likelihood of falls for some individuals.

Services are led by principal physiotherapist Chris Warne, who has more than a decade of private practice experience supporting patients with mobility, balance and rehabilitation needs across clinic, hydrotherapy and home settings. Chris undertakes ongoing professional development to ensure assessment and treatment approaches remain current and evidence-informed.

Physiotherapy for Balance & Falls Prevention

Balance and mobility physiotherapy focuses on improving strength, coordination and confidence with movement through tailored exercise and rehabilitation programs.

A physiotherapy assessment can help identify factors that may contribute to reduced balance or increased falls risk, such as muscle weakness, joint stiffness, reduced mobility or previous injury.

Physiotherapy programs may assist with:

• Improving balance and stability
• Maintaining or improving mobility
• Building strength and confidence with movement
• Supporting safe participation in daily activities
• Education around movement strategies and falls prevention

Programs are individualised based on your needs, goals and current level of function.

Falls Prevention & Mobility Programs

Depending on your needs, physiotherapy may include:

• Individualised balance and strengthening exercises
• Functional mobility and walking training
• Home-based physiotherapy visits where appropriate
• Hydrotherapy programs for supported exercise
• Guidance on safe movement and activity progression
• Education on strategies such as safe transfers and getting up from the floor

All programs begin with a physiotherapy assessment to determine appropriate treatment options and rehabilitation goals.

• Support at Home/Home Care Package recipients
• NDIS participants (self-managed and plan-managed)
