Falls can lead to serious injuries, especially for older adults. Here are some expert tips from physiotherapists to help keep you safe and steady on your feet:

1. Stay Active: Regular exercise improves strength, balance, and coordination. Try activities like walking, swimming, or Tai Chi.

2. Strength Training: Focus on strengthening your legs and core muscles. Simple exercises like squats, leg lifts, and seated marches can be very effective.

3. Balance Exercises: Practice balance exercises daily. Stand on one foot, heel-to-toe walk, or use a balance board to improve stability.

4. Proper Footwear: Wear well-fitted, non-slip shoes both indoors and outdoors. Avoid walking in socks or slippers that can increase the risk of slipping.

5. Know Your Limits: Don't rush or take risks that could lead to a fall. Move at a comfortable pace and ask for help when needed.

Remember, preventing falls is a proactive process. Stay safe and take these steps to maintain your independence and quality of life! 💪
