Frailty & Care Home Support Services
Helping Older Adults Stay Strong, Safe & Independent
Empowering Healthy Ageing Through Functional Movement & Falls Prevention
At First Contact Physiotherapy, we’re supporting primary care networks and care homes with targeted frailty and falls services—designed to help older adults maintain strength, independence, and confidence.
