Falls risk increases with age - but it rarely happens without warning.

As we get older, natural changes occur in muscle strength, reaction time, balance, vision, and bone density. These changes can increase instability, particularly when combined with conditions such as osteopenia or osteoporosis.

When falls occur, the consequences can be significant. Fractures, especially of the hip, wrist, or spine, are common secondary complications. Reduced bone density means even a seemingly minor fall can result in serious injury, hospitalisation, and loss of independence.

The encouraging part is this: falls risk is modifiable.

Targeted, clinically guided exercise can:

→ Improve lower limb strength
→ Enhance balance and proprioception
→ Increase reaction speed
→ Support posture and gait stability
→ Improve confidence in daily movement

Over time, structured strength and balance training can meaningfully reduce the likelihood of falls and help slow functional decline.

At Better by Miles, our Accredited Exercise Physiologists design individualised programs to support safe mobility and long-term independence.

If you’re concerned about balance, bone health, or fall risk, our team is here to help.

Today, we pause to remember and honour the courage, sacrifice, and service of all Australians and New Zealanders who have served, and continue to serve.

ANZAC Day is a time to reflect on the strength, resilience, and mateship that have shaped our nations, and to recognise those who gave so much for the freedoms we have today.

Intellectual disability and exercise outcomes are strongly linked.

People with an intellectual disability are typically less physically active than the general population, but the evidence is clear on what happens when that changes:
→ Regular physical activity leads to large improvements in mental health
→ Physical health improves, including strength and overall function
→ Psychosocial outcomes (confidence, social wellbeing) also improve

The strongest results are seen with 120+ minutes per week of structured activity, particularly when combining aerobic and therapeutic exercise.

Strength training and developing movement skills are also key contributors to both physical and psychosocial improvements.

The challenge isn’t the effectiveness of exercise, it’s implementation: structure and the right level of support.

That’s where our Exercise Physiologists can deliver individualised, evidence-based exercise interventions tailored to the individual to improve long-term health outcomes.

Hear from one of our NDIS Participant's Mother.

Most veterans we see didn’t come in when the pain started.

They came in when things they’d always been able to do, quietly became harder.

Getting up off the floor.
Carrying groceries.
Sleeping through the night.
Training the way they used to.

Not because they’re weak.
Because the body eventually stops absorbing years of load.

Exercise Physiology isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about restoring capacity safely, so independence lasts longer.

Better by Miles supports veterans with structured, clinically guided exercise aligned with DVA care.
