Geriatric Physiotherapy
Helping Older Adults Move Safely, Live Independently
Conditions We Treat
Fall prevention & balance training
Falls are the leading cause of serious injury in older adults and the fear of falling can itself become a barrier to staying active. Our fall prevention programs begin with a comprehensive balance and gait assessment to identify exactly where your risk lies. We then build a structured program of balance exercises, strength training, and coordination drills that measurably reduce fall risk helping you move through your home and community with renewed confidence and safety.
Arthritis & Joint Pain Management
Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are among the most common conditions affecting older adults, causing joint stiffness, swelling, and pain that can make even simple daily tasks feel exhausting. Our physiotherapy approach focuses on reducing pain through manual therapy and gentle mobilisation, improving joint flexibility, and building the muscle strength around affected joints to take pressure off them. We also provide practical guidance on activity modification so you can keep doing what you enjoy, just more comfortably.
Post-Fracture & Post-Surgical Rehab
Fractures, particularly of the hip, wrist, or spine are common in older adults and often require surgery followed by careful, phased rehabilitation. We design recovery programs that safely restore strength, movement, and weight-bearing capacity after fracture or surgery, while being mindful of bone healing timelines and individual fitness levels. Our goal is to get you back on your feet, moving independently, and back home as smoothly and safely as possible.
Parkinson's & Neurological Conditions in the Elderly
Parkinson's disease and other neurological conditions become more prevalent with age, affecting movement, balance, speech, and coordination. Our geriatric neuro-rehabilitation programs use evidence-based techniques including rhythmic movement training, gait retraining, and balance therapy — specifically adapted for older adults to slow functional decline, reduce fall risk, and help you maintain as much independence and quality of life as possible for as long as possible.
Osteoporosis Management
Osteoporosis weakens bones silently over time, making fractures far more likely — especially from minor falls or sudden movements. Physiotherapy plays a vital role in managing osteoporosis by improving bone-loading through safe weight-bearing exercises, improving posture and spinal alignment, and reducing fracture risk through balance and strength training. We design programs that are appropriately challenging without putting fragile bones at unnecessary risk.
Mobility & Independence Training
As we age, everyday tasks like getting up from a chair, climbing stairs, or walking to the shops can become increasingly difficult. Our mobility and independence programs focus on the functional movements that matter most in your daily life building the strength, flexibility, and coordination needed to perform them safely and confidently. Whether you're recovering from an illness, returning home after a hospital stay, or simply noticing that movement has become harder, we'll help you regain and maintain the independence you value.
Our Approach to Geriatric Physiotherapy
We know that older adults are not a single category. Each person comes with their own unique health history, physical capacity, personal goals, and emotional needs. That's why every Movin Care geriatric program begins with a thorough assessment covering physical function, balance, strength, medical history, home environment, and daily lifestyle. Treatment is always gentle, clearly explained, and progressed at a pace that feels safe and manageable. We also integrate CBT-based strategies to address the anxiety, low confidence, or low mood that often accompanies reduced mobility in older age — because true recovery means feeling capable and positive, not just physically stronger.
