As you age, your body undergoes many natural changes, such as muscle weakness, reduced bone mineral density, and fatigue after minimal physical activity. These changes significantly increase the risk of falls. Due to the fragility of the bones, even a minor fall can lead to a serious fracture. Furthermore, muscle weakness and conditions like vertigo often cause balance issues.
To address these challenges, geriatric physiotherapy is highly recommended. This specialized therapy helps improve your strength, restore your balance, and significantly reduce the risk of falls.
Next Steps
To recover from these issues, a comprehensive assessment is required.

With increasing age, slower movements, reduced balance and dizziness can increase the risk of falls. Regular, age-appropriate physiotherapy can help improve strength, balance, coordination and confidence during daily activities.
Next Steps
A physiotherapy assessment should be done to check balance, walking, lower-limb strength and fall risk. A gradual program of balance, strengthening and functional exercises can then be planned. You can consult me online for an initial assessment and guidance.
Health Tips
*Practice balance exercises only in a safe environment and preferably with support/supervision.
*Keep pathways clear and use adequate lighting at home.
*Rise slowly from bed or a chair, especially when feeling dizzy.
*Wear well-fitting, non-slip footwear.
*Since vertigo and dizziness are present, medical/ENT evaluation may also be helpful to identify the cause.

At 81, reduced balance and slower movements can increase fall risk, especially when dizziness or vertigo is present. Physiotherapy can help with balance training, gait, lower-limb strengthening and fall-prevention exercises, but the cause of dizziness/vertigo should first be assessed by a doctor/ENT.
Next Steps
Next step: A physiotherapy assessment can help determine his balance and mobility needs and create a safe, individualized home-exercise program
