Geriatric Rehabilitation

Geriatric rehabilitation is a specialized area of healthcare focused on restoring and maintaining functional independence and quality of life in older adults.

As people age, they may experience a range of physical and cognitive concerns such as mobility issues, risk of falls, chronic conditions like arthritis or osteoporosis, stroke, dementia, or Parkinson’s disease.

Through personalized home-based physiotherapy, I can help you:

• Functional Assessments: Evaluate and improve your mobility and balance by teaching you ambulation techniques and balance exercises to reduce your risk of falling. 
• Reduce pain and discomfort: Benefit from gentle techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue massage to alleviate pain and stiffness.
• Enhance strength and endurance: Participate in chair-based exercises and other low-impact activities to maintain muscle strength and improve overall fitness
• Improve lung capacity: Practice gentle breathing exercises to improve lung function and reduce shortness of breath.
• Customized Exercise Programs: Designing targeted exercises to enhance your strength, flexibility, and endurance
• Education and Self-Management: Providing guidance on  energy conservation strategies, posture and assistive device training

At home, physiotherapy sessions offer the comfort and convenience of a familiar environment, making it easier for older adults to stay engaged and committed to their rehabilitation.
