Geriatric Physiotherapy
Geriatric physiotherapy is a specialised branch of rehabilitation science that focuses on the clinical management of the movement and functional deficits associated with ageing. Its main goals are to maintain functional independence, manage chronic pain and prevent falls through personalised strengthening, gait retraining and balance programmes. At the heart of our care is therapeutic exercise, which helps manage and limit the structural changes that result from the ageing process. In particular, exercise brings significant benefits to people with osteoporosis and sarcopenia, while also stimulating cognitive function and supporting the mental health of older adults.
Mobility & Independence
Targeted intervention to ensure the patient's ability to look after themselves and to strengthen their independence within the familiar surroundings of their own home.
Fall Prevention & Movement Retraining
Specialised balance, proprioception and coordination programmes that minimise the risk of accidents and restore a sense of safety when walking.
Multi-System Benefits of Therapeutic Exercise
Clinically guided exercise programmes that protect against osteoporosis and sarcopenia, while also stimulating cognitive function and mental health.
Managing Chronic Pain & Stiffness
Strategies to relieve the symptoms of degenerative conditions (such as osteoarthritis), with the aim of improving everyday life.
