Understanding Geriatric Physiotherapy

As we age, muscle strength, joint flexibility and balance naturally decline, which can affect independence and increase the risk of falls. Geriatric physiotherapy is designed specifically around these changes, focusing on safe, sustainable ways to maintain mobility and quality of life.

We work at a pace that respects each person's health conditions and energy levels, often coordinating with family members and other treating doctors to ensure the plan fits the bigger picture of care.
