Geriatric Physiotherapy
Geriatric physiotherapy is a specialized field of physiotherapy that focuses on the
assessment and treatment of physical impairments, functional limitations, and
disabilities in older adults. The goal of geriatric physiotherapy is to improve the
quality of life of older adults by promoting functional independence, mobility, and
overall well-being.
Geriatric physiotherapists work with older adults who may be experiencing a variety
of conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and other
neurological and musculoskeletal disorders. They use a range of treatment
techniques such as exercise therapy, manual therapy, and education to help manage
pain, improve mobility, and reduce the risk of falls.
In addition to providing treatment, geriatric physiotherapists also focus on
preventing future injuries and promoting healthy aging. They may provide advice on
lifestyle modifications, such as diet and exercise, and suggest modifications to the
home environment to improve safety and accessibility.
