Falls Prevention Program at Physiatrix Rehab
Delta's Only Structured Falls Prevention Program — Free 15-Minute Risk Screen Included
Falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalization among BC seniors. 1 in 3 adults over 65 falls every year — often with life-altering consequences. At Physiatrix Rehab in Delta, BC, we’ve built the region’s only structured, multi-pathway Falls Prevention Program: starting with a free 15-minute risk screen and routing each patient to exactly the level of care they need — a group exercise program, a comprehensive balance assessment, or intensive 1:1 physiotherapy sessions.
Why the Physiatrix Falls Prevention Program Is Different
Most clinics treat falls reactively — after a fracture, after a hospitalization. We prevent them. Our program starts with a validated risk screen, generates a clinical pathway decision, and delivers the right intervention: group exercise for mild risk, full balance assessment for moderate-to-complex cases, and individualized physiotherapy for high-risk patients. It’s systematic, evidence-based, and — as far as we know — unique in Delta and Surrey.
Evidence-Based Falls Prevention — Built Around You
Exercise-based falls prevention reduces fall rates by 23–40% in community-dwelling older adults (Cochrane Review, Sherrington et al.). The most effective programs share three elements: progressive balance challenge, sufficient exercise dose, and individualization. Our three-pathway model delivers all three. Group classes build consistency and social accountability. Individual sessions tackle complex deficits. Every pathway is supervised by a registered physiotherapist.
