When older people fall, it can have life-changing consequences for their future health and wellbeing. Physiotherapists are in a prime position to help prevent falls through targeted exercise programs focused on balance and mobility. Physiotherapists Professors Cathie Sherrington, Cathy Said and Kim Delbaere discuss the updated national Falls Guidelines and the need for a national approach to preventing falls.

Physiotherapy careers often run in families but rarely across three generations working in different eras of the profession. For Jill Morrison, her daughter Shan Morrison and grandson Xander Clausen, physiotherapy is not just a career path – it is a shared language that has evolved across six decades of healthcare.
