Geriatric Physiotherapy for Seniors: Mobility, Strength & Balance
Specialised physiotherapy for older adults to improve strength, mobility, balance and independence. Our geriatric physiotherapists help seniors manage age-related weakness, joint problems, walking difficulties, falls risk and reduced physical function.
What Is Geriatric Physiotherapy?
Geriatric physiotherapy is specialised physiotherapy for older adults that focuses on maintaining or improving strength, mobility, balance and physical function. It can help senior citizens manage age-related weakness, joint stiffness, difficulty walking, reduced mobility and problems with everyday activities.
A geriatric physiotherapist assesses strength, balance, walking ability, mobility and functional limitations before creating a personalised rehabilitation plan. Treatment may include strengthening and flexibility exercises, balance and gait training, mobility exercises, functional training and advice on safe movement and the use of walking aids where appropriate.
When Can Geriatric Physiotherapy Help?
Geriatric physiotherapy can help when ageing, illness, injury or reduced physical activity affects a senior’s strength, balance, mobility or independence. It may be useful for older adults experiencing difficulty walking, recurrent falls, joint pain or stiffness, muscle weakness, reduced activity levels or difficulty performing everyday activities.
Physiotherapy can focus on improving strength and balance, maintaining joint mobility, increasing walking confidence, preventing falls and helping seniors remain as independent as possible. ReLiva physiotherapists also support rehabilitation after illness, injury, fracture or surgery, alongside the specific rehabilitation plan recommended for the condition.
