Community Physiotherapy and Falls Prevention
Physiotherapy can help you improve your movement, strength and ability to carry out everyday activities when you are affected by illness, injury or a long-term health condition.
NHS Tayside Community Physiotherapy Services support adults across Tayside who require rehabilitation and physiotherapy in a range of settings, including clinics, community settings, care homes and, where appropriate, their own home.
We work with you to understand what is important to you and develop a treatment and rehabilitation plan based on your individual needs and goals.
What Can Community Physiotherapy help With?
Community physiotherapy can support people with a wide range of difficulties, including:
- Reduced mobility or difficulty walking.
- Reduced strength or balance.
- Falls or concerns about falling.
- Recovery following illness, injury or surgery.
- Rehabilitation following a hospital admission.
- Long-term health conditions affecting movement or function.
- Difficulty maintaining independence with everyday activities.
