Frequently asked questions
Common questions about falls & balance
Do I need to have already fallen before I seek help?
No. Reduced confidence, near-falls, and visible balance decline are all good reasons to seek review early.
Can balance training be delivered at home?
Yes. Home visits can be useful when the main risks or confidence issues show up in the home environment.
How does this differ from vestibular care?
Falls and balance is the broader pathway. Some people with dizziness or vertigo may later be directed into vestibular-specific assessment.

Start with intake and we will route the person to the right setting
A fall, near-fall, or loss of confidence is a good time to seek assessment rather than waiting for the problem to worsen.
