Episode Synopsis

Falls are a major health concern for older Australians, often leading to injury, loss of independence, and rising healthcare costs. In this episode, we explore the power of exercise - especially functional balance and strength training - a key strategy for fall prevention. Join us as we break down the latest evidence on how to make exercise effective, progressive, and tailored to individual risk levels. We’ll also discuss when and how to integrate non-exercise interventions for those with complex health needs. Tune in to learn how we can help older adults stay active, independent, and safe.
