Frequently Asked Question's 

Who can benefit from geriatric physiotherapy?

Geriatric physiotherapy is designed for older adults who experience difficulties with mobility, balance, strength, flexibility, or everyday activities. It can also support recovery after an injury, surgery, stroke, or periods of reduced physical activity.

How can physiotherapy help older adults with balance problems?

A physiotherapist can assess balance and movement and develop exercises that focus on strength, coordination, posture, and stability. Improving these areas may help older adults move more confidently and reduce the risk of falls.

Can physiotherapy help manage age-related joint and muscle pain?

Yes. Appropriate physiotherapy can help older adults manage pain associated with conditions affecting the joints, muscles, and spine. Treatment may include gentle strengthening, mobility exercises, stretching, and other techniques suited to the individual's ability.

Is geriatric physiotherapy useful after surgery or an injury?

Yes. Rehabilitation can help older adults gradually regain strength, mobility, balance, and independence after surgery or an injury. The programme is adjusted to the person's medical condition and recovery stage.

How often should an older adult attend physiotherapy?

The frequency of physiotherapy depends on the person's condition, treatment goals, mobility, and progress. A physiotherapist can recommend an appropriate schedule and modify the programme as the person's strength and functional ability improve.
