Physiotherapists are prepared to treat a variety of conditions that affect the older population.

• Geriatric physiotherapy uses a wide range of skills to accommodate the unique issues of aging.

• These issues include multiple medical diagnoses, social and emotional needs, mobility and balance impairments and challenges in independent living.

• Two of the most important areas that physiotherapy would address are limitations in balance/mobility and pain.

• The physiotherapist can use different modalities, or manual techniques to help control pain.

• Mobility and balance can be restored through exercises to strengthen muscles, balance training to ease transfers and walking, and recommendations of assistive devices such as walkers and canes.

• We have physiotherapists who are authorizers of the Geriatric Rehabilitation Program (GRP) and can perform GRP assessments.

If you are eligible for GRP.

If you find it difficult to come into our clinics for treatment, home physiotherapy may be a better option for you.

Home care especially for senior citizens and all age group patients

• A home session consists of a physiotherapist coming to your home to do an assessment and individualized treatment.

• They are fully equipped with mobile modalities such as Ultrasound, TENS, Laser, and Electrical Muscle Stimulation.

• The physiotherapist will prescribe a home exercise program as well.

• Physiotherapy treatment, in the comfort of your own home, will improve pain, mobility, balance, and functional capabilities.
