Falls are more likely to occur among the elderly because of the normal decline in balance and movement that comes with age. Inactivity, which can lead to a loss of strength and function, is prevalent among the elderly, and a common reason for this is fear of falling. On the other hand, more complicated health issues can manifest around those ages and have an impact on the individual’s ability to operate and maintain their independence.
Geriatric physical therapy is really helpful in this situation. Geriatric physiotherapy is a crucial component in supporting the health and well-being of our older adults. When it comes to geriatric physiotherapy, our expert staff is always looking to the most recent research for its practice. In order to develop a rehabilitation plan that is uniquely suited to each patient, we conduct thorough assessments and have in-depth conversations about each person’s unique goals, challenges, and needs.
Balance training, gait re-education, and the prescription and supervision of exercise programs that include strengthening, stretching, and functional movements based on evidence are common components of these types of programs. We educate family members and caregivers on how to use mobility and rehabilitation aids properly when patients are unable to do so on their own. Improving function, mobility, and strength are the goals of geriatric physiotherapy, which also seeks to reduce the risk of falls and increase the autonomy and health of the elderly.
Geriatric physiotherapy is not just about addressing ailments; it’s about fostering a fulfilling and healthy aging journey.
