Physiotherapy plays a vital role in improving the quality of life for older adults. Some of the key benefits of aged care physiotherapy include:

Strength and Balance Training: Our physiotherapists design personalised exercise programs that focus on improving strength, balance, and flexibility, reducing the risk of falls and injuries.
Osteoporosis Management: We provide expert care for individuals with osteoporosis, developing exercise programs that promote bone density, reduce pain, and improve mobility.
Reducing Falls Risk: Our physiotherapists identify and address risk factors for falls, providing targeted interventions to reduce the risk of falls and injuries.
Mobility Training: We help older adults maintain their independence by improving mobility, reducing stiffness, and enhancing overall functional ability.
Exercise Classes: Our exercise classes are designed specifically for older adults, promoting social interaction, physical activity, and overall well-being.
Injury Assessment: Our physiotherapists provide expert assessment and treatment for injuries related to aging, such as arthritis, chronic pain, and mobility impairments. We can then provide treatments for elderly people with a sound understanding of safe and evidence-based approaches.
Stroke Rehabilitation: We can help improve motor function, mobility, and overall independence by stimulating nerve growth, rebuilding muscle strength, and enhancing balance and coordination, leading to a better quality of life for stroke survivors.
