THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 & ISOLATION ON PHYSICAL ACTIVITY & RISK FOR FALLS CUSTOM STRENGTH & BALANCE TRAINING
I was immediately able to do the same balance exercises confidently with nearly normal balance! “I was referred because of balance issues and severe weakness in my legs. Balance exercises were difficult initially. Even with a safety harness on I wobbled and stumbled. My therapist identified my vestibular issues and treated one of these issues using an Epley maneuver. I was immediately able to do the same balance exercises confidently with nearly normal balance. I’m so delighted with my therapists and my progress!!! We have also been working on strength and flexibility. Although the progress is not as dramatic as the balance breakthrough, I am making good progress.” - A.S. 2 6 5 8 1 7

For instance, in Australia in June, approximately 2 months after their “first wave” had passed, the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA), reported that falls due to COVID-19 physical inactivity and isolation were up 30%. The APA note, “...While well meaning, infection control measures taken by aged care providers have had the perverse effect of accelerating physical, mental and emotional decline in many cases...The lack of activity and exercise will have significantly impacted...their mobility, strength, and balance and their cognitive and mental health”.
