Geriatric Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy plays a vital role in maintaining the health and well-being of older adults. By addressing physical limitations and promoting functional independence, physiotherapists can help seniors improve their quality of life and reduce the risk of falls and other health complications.

Key areas of focus in geriatric physiotherapy include:

• Fall Prevention: Assessing gait, balance, and strength to identify risk factors for falls and developing personalized exercise programs to improve stability and reduce the likelihood of accidents.
• Pain Management: Treating chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, back pain, and joint pain through a combination of manual therapy, exercise, and education.
• Stroke Rehabilitation: Assisting individuals who have suffered strokes in regaining mobility, improving muscle strength, and enhancing functional independence.
• Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Helping patients recover from orthopedic surgeries, such as hip or knee replacements, by facilitating healing, improving range of motion, and restoring strength.
• Chronic Disease Management: Managing conditions like osteoporosis, Parkinson's disease, and dementia through targeted exercises and therapeutic interventions.
• Home Safety Assessments: Evaluating home environments to identify potential hazards and providing recommendations to create a safer living space.
• Functional Independence: Promoting self-care activities, such as dressing, bathing, and walking, to maintain independence and reduce the need for assistance.
