PHYSIOTHERAPY FOR STRENGTH & BALANCE

Improve stability, prevent falls and regain confidence with targeted physiotherapy for strength and balance.

How Can Physiotherapy Help With Strength & Balance?

Weak muscles and poor coordination or balance can significantly increase the risk of trips, slips and falls. Physiotherapy helps restore stability and support long-term mobility.

Targeted physiotherapy can play a vital role in reducing this risk by improving core strength and lower limb stability, enhancing balance and coordination and strengthening muscles after illness, injury or surgery.

Who can benefit?

We offer expert physiotherapy for strength and balance, helping individuals improve stability, build confidence in movement and reduce the risk of falls. Whether you are recovering from illness, feeling unsteady on your feet or simply wish to remain active as you age, our tailored physiotherapy programmes can support your goals.

Older adults who are at risk of falls, individuals with a history of dizziness or instability and those living with neurological conditions that can have a detrimental impact on their balance

People recovering from stroke, surgery or illness, as well as anyone looking to improve their physical resilience, mobility and overall confidence in moving around

What does a physiotherapy assessment involve?

We conduct a thorough and personalised evaluation aimed at understanding your physical abilities, challenges, and safety within your home or living environment. It typically includes reviewing medical history, observing movement, assessing strength, balance and mobility and checking for home safety risks. The goal is to create a tailored treatment plan that promotes independence, reduces the risk of falls, manages pain, and enhances overall quality of life.

Here’s what it usually involves:

Medical & Personal History Review

Observation

Physical Assessment

Environmental Safety Check

Discussion of Findings

Care Plan Development

Exercise Prescription

Follow-Up Planning

This type of assessment is especially valuable for the elderly who have difficulty traveling or prefer to remain in a familiar setting while receiving care.

Really grateful to Lizzi for the physio she provided at home for my Dad who was struggling with his strength and balance. As well as easy to follow exercises to improve strength, Lizzi also provided practical guidance on how to move safely around the house and what to do in the event of a fall. My Dad always looked forward to Lizzi's visits and would tell me how good she was. Lizzi also kept in close contact with me which I very much appreciated. Worth every penny. Thank you Lizzi 🙂

My father had a long stay in hospital in 2022, which left him unable to walk unaided. Lizzi came to work with him and her visits quickly became the highlight of his week. With great skill, kindness and unfailing humour she encouraged and enabled him to stand, then walk short distances. This gave him hope of a return to some mobility, which was so important to him. She brightened his life and became a friend to us all. My family and I absolutely recommend her. Thank you Lizzi.

What a wonderful company -my husband has vascular dementia and is extremely unbalanced while walking. Lizzi answered my initial enquiry within the hour and Jason has been visiting him regularly. His walking and general stability has improved and importantly, he's feeling much more positive. Jason is extremely kind and attentive and my husband listens and remembers his advice. Jason is very good at motivating my husband to keep moving & exercising and he's a skilled and dedicated physio. Highly recommend this company.

Since my husband had his very severe stroke 18 months ago, Lizzi and her team have been amazing, both physiotherapists Tom and Jason have assisted Garry in his journey to recovery. Attentive and dedicated they have helped give him back his confidence and more Mobility than we could have ever hoped for. Cannot recommend highly enough

Lizzi played a very important role in my wife’s rehabilitation from residential care and returning home again. She first saw my wife at St Clare’s Care Home during the depths of her depression, from which it was difficult to imagine she would ever recover. In combination with the excellent care from St Clare’s staff and the Linwood Community team, Lizzi encouraged and aided my wife’s physical fitness that, in turn, encouraged her mental wellbeing.
We thoroughly recommend Lizzi as an empathetic, skilful physiotherapist and would have no hesitation in calling on her services again.

I organised physio for my Mum following a fall which affected her mobility in her legs but she hadn't broken it. From the very outset I was so impressed, the advice Lizzie gave me was so incredibly useful even before making an initial consultation. I was able to get an appointment just a few working days later. My Mum found Jason to be so kind, professional and respectful, her mobility was getting worse each day so urgent help was needed. At the second visit I had a call from Jason as he was concerned something else may be going on to impact her mobility further. Sadly there were other issues affecting her health internally and a few days later my Mum sadly passed away after going to hospital. I have had lovely messages from Jason and Lizzie since. I can't recommend The Well Balanced Centre highly enough. There are few companies these days that really genuinely care and go out their way. Thank you so much.

POSTED ON BEHALF OF A CLIENT:
After a 7 week stay in hospital, my Mum who has advanced dementia, sadly lost the ability to walk. Upon discharge we had to move her into a Nursing home but were determined to do everything we could to rehabilitate her and give her back quality of life. Lizzi came to us highly recommended and right from day 1 she made such a positive impact. She engaged Mum with sensitivity, patience and kindness and also showed a demonstrable understanding of dementia and quickly built a rapport with not only Mum but us as a family - involving us in her treatment sessions. For a couple of sessions she also brought her colleague, Jason, to support in some stand-aid activities and every step of the way, consulted us and discussed options and the practical realities and constraints of a patient with dementia. A true professional, it was a pleasure to work with Lizzi and we are very grateful for the support she gave us.
