The goal of our geriatric physiotherapy treatments is to help:
-
restore mobility affected by old age
-
reduce pain
-
workaround physical limitations
-
improve physical fitness and overall health
ARTHRITIS
Arthritis is a common condition that causes pain and inflammation in a joint.
BALANCE AND COORDINATION
Balance is the ability to maintain a controlled body position during task performance, whether it is sitting at a table, walking the balance beam or stepping up onto a kerb. To function effectively across environments and tasks, we need the ability to maintain controlled positions during both static (still) and dynamic (moving) activities.

OSTEOPOROSIS
Osteoporosis is a disease in which bone weakening increases the risk of a broken bone. It is the most common reason for a broken bone among the elderly. Bones that commonly break include the vertebrae in the spine, the bones of the forearm, and the hip. Until a broken bone occurs there are typically no symptoms.
CHRONIC GERIATRIC PAIN
Chronic geriatric pain may be defined as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage, for persons who are either aged (65 to 79 years old) or very aged (80 and over) and who have had pain for greater than 3 months.
