Geriatric rehabilitation is a specialised physiotherapy programme designed to help older adults maintain independence, improve mobility, build strength, reduce fall risk, and enhance overall quality of life. Treatment focuses on addressing age-related physical changes and supporting safe movement in daily activities.
Physiotherapy helps older adults improve strength, balance, mobility, and functional abilities required for daily activities. By enhancing physical function and movement confidence, geriatric rehabilitation can help seniors remain independent and active for longer.
Balance issues in older adults can result from muscle weakness, reduced mobility, joint stiffness, neurological conditions, vision changes, medication side effects, or age-related decline in coordination. A physiotherapy assessment can help identify contributing factors and guide appropriate treatment.
The recommended frequency depends on the individual’s condition, physical abilities, and rehabilitation goals. Following an assessment, a physiotherapist will develop a personalised exercise plan that balances recovery, safety, and long-term progress.
Signs that an older adult may benefit from physiotherapy include frequent falls, difficulty walking, reduced mobility, muscle weakness, trouble standing from a chair, loss of confidence during movement, declining physical activity, or difficulty performing daily tasks independently.
