Geriatric Physiotherapy

Introduction

At Restore Wellness Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Center, we recognize the unique needs of older adults. Geriatric physiotherapy focuses on improving mobility, strength, balance, and overall functionality in elderly patients. Aging brings about physical and functional changes that can impact independence and quality of life. Our goal is to help seniors maintain their mobility, reduce pain, and prevent falls through personalized physiotherapy programs.

Our team of expert therapists works closely with elderly individuals to promote active aging and ensure that every patient feels confident and supported in their daily routines.

Medical Conditions Treated

Geriatric physiotherapy addresses various age-related conditions and challenges, such as:

Arthritis (Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis)
Osteoporosis and risk of fractures
Balance disorders and frequent falls
Post-surgical rehabilitation (e.g., hip/knee replacements)
Stroke recovery and post-hemiplegia rehabilitation
Parkinson’s disease and neurological disorders
Generalized muscle weakness and mobility issues
Joint stiffness and reduced range of motion
Chronic pain (e.g., back, neck, joints)
Age-related deconditioning and fatigue

Comprehensive Assessment

Each treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment tailored to the elderly individual’s physical, emotional, and functional needs. This includes:

Gait and balance analysis to identify fall risks
Joint flexibility and mobility testing
Muscle strength and endurance evaluation
Pain and posture assessment
Daily living activity evaluation to assess independence in tasks such as walking, bathing, and dressing
Fall history and risk factor screening

Personalized Plan of Action

Our geriatric physiotherapy plans are carefully designed to improve function while respecting the pace and needs of aging bodies. Treatments may include:

Strength and resistance training to improve muscle tone
Balance and coordination exercises to prevent falls
Gentle range of motion therapy to maintain joint flexibility
Walking aid training and gait re-education
Breathing exercises to support respiratory health
Pain relief techniques such as ultrasound or heat therapy
Education on home safety and adaptive equipment

We support each senior in becoming more independent, active, and pain-free in their golden years.

Patient Education and Home Care

Educating both the patient and caregivers is key. We provide clear guidance on at-home exercises, fall prevention strategies, and healthy aging tips. Our team ensures the family is well-informed and confident in supporting their loved one’s rehabilitation journey.

Ongoing Support and Monitoring

We offer continuous follow-up to monitor progress, modify treatment plans, and ensure goals are being met. Through compassion, consistency, and clinical expertise, we help elderly patients live healthier, more independent lives.
