Maybe you noticed a wobbly step on the stairs… or a little less confidence getting up from a chair. Small changes like these can feel worrying, especially when family notices too. You're not imagining it — and you're not alone.

Falls change everything

Every year, one in three adults over 65 experiences a fall. The consequences can be life-changing:

  • Hospital admissions and long recovery periods
  • Loss of confidence that leads to reduced activity
  • Accelerated decline in strength and mobility
  • The start of a cycle that often leads to full-time care

But here's what many people don't realise: falls are not inevitable. Most are preventable with the right approach.

Loss of strength and balance happens gradually – but with proper support, it can be slowed, stopped, or even reversed.

What is Prevent+?

Prevent+ is a structured coaching programme specifically designed to help older adults maintain and improve their physical capability.

  • Led by trained coaches who specialise in working with older adults
  • Focused on practical, achievable exercises that build real-world capability
  • Delivered in your home, at your pace, with ongoing support
  • Evidence-based approach aligned with NHS falls prevention guidance

Our goal is simple: help you stay steady, strong, and confident on your feet.

What Prevent+ improves

The programme focuses on four key areas that determine your physical capability:

Strength

Building the muscle strength needed for daily activities – getting up from chairs, climbing stairs, carrying shopping.

Balance

Improving your body's ability to stay stable and recover quickly if you stumble or trip.

Mobility

Maintaining the flexibility and range of movement that keeps you active and comfortable.

Confidence

Rebuilding the self-assurance to move freely without fear of falling.

Together, these improvements create lasting protection for your independence.

Who is Prevent+ for?

Prevent+ is designed for people who want to take action before a serious fall happens:

Those who've had a near-miss

You've stumbled, grabbed for support, or had a close call. You know something needs to change.

Those becoming less confident

You're avoiding certain activities, holding onto furniture, or moving more carefully than you used to.

Families who want prevention

You've noticed your parent or loved one becoming less steady, and you want to act before a fall happens – not after.

Those recovering from a fall

You've experienced a fall and want to rebuild your strength and confidence to prevent it happening again.

Prevent+ is about taking control – choosing prevention over reaction.

Questions about Prevent+

How quickly will I see results?

Most people notice improvements in confidence and stability within the first few weeks. Measurable gains in strength and balance typically become clear within 6-8 weeks of consistent coaching. Many clients tell us family members notice the difference before they do!

Is this painful or hard?

Not at all. Prevent+ is designed to be challenging enough to make a difference, but never painful or overwhelming. Your coach adapts every session to your current ability, and exercises progress gradually as you get stronger. Most clients find the sessions enjoyable.

What if I've never exercised before?

That's absolutely fine – many of our clients haven't exercised in years, or ever. Prevent+ starts from where you are now, not where you 'should' be. Your coach will tailor everything to your current fitness level and build from there.

How is Prevent+ different from physiotherapy?

While physiotherapy typically addresses specific injuries or conditions, Prevent+ is an ongoing coaching programme focused on maintaining and improving overall physical capability. It's proactive rather than reactive – designed to prevent problems rather than treat them after they occur.

Does this replace physiotherapy?

No, Prevent+ complements physiotherapy rather than replacing it. If you're currently seeing a physio for a specific condition, Prevent+ can work alongside that treatment. We're happy to coordinate with your healthcare providers.

Do I need to buy equipment?

No specialist equipment is required. Your coach will bring everything needed for your sessions, and any recommended home exercises use simple items you'll already have – like a sturdy chair or kitchen worktop.

How much does Prevent+ cost?

Pricing depends on the frequency and duration of coaching sessions. We'll discuss costs openly during our initial conversation – there are no hidden fees. Many families find that investing in prevention is far more cost-effective than dealing with the consequences of a fall.

What areas do you cover?

Prevent+ is currently available in Bath, North East Somerset, and West Wiltshire. If you're just outside these areas, still get in touch – we'll let you know what's possible.

Can Prevent+ help after a fall?

Absolutely. While we focus on prevention, Prevent+ is also excellent for rehabilitation after a fall – helping you rebuild strength, balance, and confidence to reduce the risk of falling again.
