STRIDE

What we do

We offer a rapid, allied health service provided by a physiotherapist or occupational therapist who specialise in falls prevention and interventions to people who have fallen.

Who we care for

Our service is provided to patients who are:

65 years and older
living independently
who live in the cites of Port Phillip, Glen Eira or Stonnington

What to expect

After a fall, the STRIDE clinician will ensure that further emergency care is not required by conducting a thorough post-falls assessment.

Following this, the clinician will complete a falls risk assessment and work closely with you to develop a management plan.

This plan may include:

a complete home review with recommendations to ensure you can move confidently and safely around your home
assisting you with ways to enhance your physical activity for better balance, fitness and wellbeing
advice on strategies to enhance your vitality and confidence to remain living independently
