We've spoken about falls, so we thought we'd find out how to prevent them. This week, we're joined by the physiotherapist Niamh Buttle, who is also the co-founder of Wobble, an app designed to improve mobility, strength and balance, which we're pretty keen on trying. We also hear from fellow Parky, John Granahan, who shared with us how he is adapting his home, thanks to a grant, to make it 'fall'-proof. This episode features lots of wise words on how we might stop our falls; now, if we could only get over our Parky apathy and get training..
