Geriatric

Geriatric physiotherapy focuses on supporting the health, mobility, and independence of older adults. It addresses age‑related changes such as reduced strength, balance difficulties, joint stiffness, chronic pain, and decreased endurance. Through individualized assessment and evidence‑based treatment, physiotherapists help older adults stay active, prevent falls, manage chronic conditions, and maintain confidence in daily activities.

How can geriatric physiotherapy help with balance and fall prevention?

Physiotherapists assess balance, gait patterns, muscle strength, and environmental risks. Treatment includes targeted balance exercises, strength training, and strategies to improve stability during daily tasks. These interventions significantly reduce fall risk and improve confidence.

Is geriatric physiotherapy suitable for people with chronic conditions like arthritis or osteoporosis?

Yes. Physiotherapists tailor programs to each person’s medical history, mobility level, and comfort. Gentle strengthening, joint mobility work, posture correction, and safe movement strategies help manage pain, improve function, and support long‑term independence.
