Benefits of Geriatric Physiotherapy:

  • Pain Relief: Geriatric physiotherapy helps manage chronic pain conditions, such as arthritis, joint pain, and musculoskeletal issues, reducing the reliance on medication.
  • Improved Mobility: Regular physiotherapy sessions can enhance mobility, allowing seniors to move more freely and comfortably.
  • Increased Strength and Flexibility: Our exercises are designed to improve muscle strength and joint flexibility, preventing stiffness and increasing overall movement capacity.
  • Balance and Fall Prevention: One of the major concerns for seniors is the risk of falls. Geriatric physiotherapy focuses on improving balance, coordination, and posture, significantly reducing the risk of falls.
  • Post-Surgery Rehabilitation: After surgery, especially joint replacements or fractures, physiotherapy helps accelerate recovery, reduce pain, and restore function.
  • Enhanced Independence: By improving strength, mobility, and balance, geriatric physiotherapy allows seniors to perform daily tasks with greater ease, enhancing independence.
  • Better Overall Health: Regular physiotherapy sessions can improve cardiovascular health, mental health, and reduce the risks associated with age-related conditions.

  • Neurological Disorders: Conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis can benefit from physiotherapy to enhance movement and independence.
