Geriatric Care Physiotherapy
Specialised physiotherapy for older adults to maintain independence and mobility.
Ageing does not have to mean slowing down or accepting pain and weakness as inevitable. Our geriatric physiotherapy programme is designed to help older adults stay strong, steady on their feet, and as independent as possible for as long as possible. We work with patience, respect, and a deep understanding of the unique challenges that come with ageing.
Supporting Independence at Every Age
We conduct a thorough assessment covering strength, balance, walking ability, pain, and functional tasks such as getting up from a chair or climbing stairs. Treatment typically combines strengthening exercises, balance training, manual therapy, fall prevention strategies, and advice on activity modification to keep older patients safe and active.
- Osteoporosis and bone fragility
- Osteoarthritis of the hip, knee, and spine
- Balance disorders and fall prevention
- General age-related weakness and deconditioning
- Post-fall rehabilitation
- Age-related mobility decline
Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question about geriatric care physiotherapy? Here are the questions we hear most often from patients, with honest answers from our team.
Yes — exercise is safe and beneficial at virtually any age when properly supervised. We always assess carefully and progress gradually. The risks of inactivity in older adults are far greater than the risks of appropriately supervised exercise.
As soon as possible. After a fall — whether or not a fracture occurred — physiotherapy helps address the physical and psychological factors that contributed to the fall and reduces the risk of future falls.
Physiotherapy cannot reverse arthritis, but it can significantly reduce pain, improve function, and slow the rate at which the condition limits daily activity. Staying active is one of the best things an arthritis patient can do.
Yes. We are experienced in working with patients who have cognitive impairment. We use simple, repetitive instructions and involve caregivers closely to support the rehabilitation process.
