What is frailty and fall risk (at home)?
Frailty in older adults brings weakness, unsteadiness, and a higher risk of falls, and most falls happen at home. Community physiotherapy is ideal here: it builds strength and balance, assesses and reduces hazards in your actual home, and rebuilds the confidence to move safely. Home physiotherapy is not emergency care: seek medical help for a fall with injury, sudden weakness, chest pain, breathlessness, or confusion.

When to seek urgent care
Physiotherapy is safe for most people, but see a doctor urgently if you have any of these:
- A fall with injury, loss of consciousness, or a head knock, especially if you take blood-thinning medicine
- Sudden new weakness, dizziness, or confusion
- For these, seek medical care
Do not book physiotherapy for emergency symptoms. Seek urgent medical care first, then use physiotherapy when it is safe and appropriate.
