Care of the Elderly Physiotherapy

As part of the ageing process, the body begins to lose strength, mobility and flexibility. If left unchecked this can lead to certain health consequences. But it is possible, with the right intervention from a therapist, to devise a programme of physiotherapy to care for the older person. Physiotherapists have specialist skills in assessment and re-ablement

 Care of the elderly involves a series of preventive and intervention measures to offer protection and improve quality of life.  We can offer extensive services caring for the elderly in their own home or care home. This removes the trauma and difficulty of having to travel to appointments, meaning elderly patients can get the care they need easily. 

Care for the elderly physiotherapy includes improvement of strength, balance, movement and mobility through exercise programme, remedial massage for relaxation and pain relief, hands on treatment for injuries and arthritic problems including ultrasound therapy if appropriate.
