Senior Physiotherapy (Geriatric Care)
Elderly physiotherapy focuses on keeping everyday movement safe and independent at home. The physiotherapist assesses strength, balance, walking and the home set-up. They then build a plan that may include strength and balance training, mobility work, gait training and fall-risk advice. Family members and carers are welcome to join and learn the exercises.
