Elderly Care and Rehabilitation

We provide Elderly Care and Rehabilitation Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy assessment is the core part of older person assessment. Specialist elderly care Physiotherapists have the knowledge to understand the difference between normal ageing and pathological conditions affecting capabilities. Dementia, falls, fractures and neurological conditions are the major cause of reduced mobility, muscle strength, function, confidence and abilities in elderly. Timely assessment by an Elderly Care Physiotherapist can help in developing a rehabilitation plan with specific goals aimed towards improving the muscle- strength, movement and functional abilities of the older individuals. Elderly care Physiotherapy and rehabilitation

We have a team of expert Physiotherapists and occupational therapists with experience in progression, prevention of deterioration and maintenance therapy. The team is dementia trained to support patients with cognitive difficulties. Physio at home for elderly individuals is highly effective in improving the mobility, balance, and function. It is a well-documented fact that a person rehabilitates best in their home environment.

The Physiotherapist will do detailed assessment of strength, flexibility, balance, co-ordination, mobility, equipment, and aids used. Following assessment, personalised rehabilitation plan will be developed which will be monitored, reviewed, and modified as needed. We provide ‘hands on Physiotherapy’ and not just a piece of paper with instructions.

Improvement of Mobility: Addressing concerns including joint stiffness, muscular weakness, and balance deficits, we concentrate on enhancing and preserving mobility. Seniors with improved mobility may carry out routine tasks with ease, lowering their risk of falling, fostering independence, and improving their quality of life in general. To increase mobility and stability, we combine manual treatment, therapeutic exercises, and gait training.

Pain Control: Our pain treatment services focus on arthritic pain, age-related aches and pains, and chronic pain problems. Seniors who successfully manage their pain can enjoy more comfort, better sleep, and a higher quality of life. Greater physical activity is also encouraged by less pain. Utilizing specialized methods, we treat older persons’ pain with therapies including heat therapy, ultrasonography, and manual therapy approaches.

Preventing Falls: We offer fall risk evaluations and create specialized training regimens to improve balance and coordination. Seniors who take steps to minimize falls are better able to stay independent, avoid accidents, and feel confident in their movements. To lower the chance of falling, our therapists use exercises that are particularly designed to improve balance and proprioception.

Post-Surgery Rehabilitation: For seniors recuperating from surgery like joint replacements or orthopedic treatments, we provide rehabilitation programmes. Post-surgical rehabilitation benefits elders by helping them regain strength, mobility, and function. This quickens their recovery time and reduces problems. We emphasize safe and efficient recovery by customizing rehabilitation regimens to each patient’s surgical procedure and specific requirements.

Cognitive therapy: Our cognitive rehabilitation programmes are designed to help seniors experiencing cognitive decline by enhancing their memory, concentration, and problem-solving abilities. Cognitive rehabilitation develops a better level of participation and confidence in daily life, helps independent living, and improves mental clarity. To promote brain function and decrease cognitive decline, we apply evidence-based cognitive exercises and procedures.
