Geriatric Rehabilitation & Fall Prevention at MoveFree

Falls are a significant concern for the elderly in Singapore, often leading to serious injuries such as hip fractures and head trauma. According to the National Registry of Disease Office (NRDO) of Singapore, about one in three older adults over 60 years old falls each year, with the risk increasing with age. Fall prevention is crucial for maintaining mobility and overall health.

At MoveFree Physio, we provide comprehensive geriatric rehabilitation and fall prevention programs tailored to the needs of elderly individuals. Our approach includes:

Personalized Balance Training

Based on thorough assessments, we design activities to improve trunk stability, biomechanical alignment, and weight distribution.

Functional Strengthening

We focus on enhancing the musculoskeletal responses necessary for balance, including functional range of motion (ROM), strength, and coordination.

Safety and Awareness

We educate the elderly on recognizing dangerous situations and making lifestyle adjustments to prevent falls. Environmental modifications, such as installing grab bars and ensuring sufficient lighting, are also recommended to enhance safety.
