Service Overview

What this service is designed to solve.

Age-related changes in balance, strength, mobility, and confidence can gradually reduce independence if they are not addressed. Good geriatric physiotherapy should feel practical, safe, and relevant to the tasks that matter most at home and in the community.

At Physynex, treatment focuses on function first: walking, transfers, stairs, balance, confidence, and the strength needed to keep daily movement more secure.

FAQs

Common questions about geriatric physiotherapy.

These answers cover the questions patients usually ask before starting this pathway, during early treatment, and as they progress toward work, training, or full activity.

Is geriatric physiotherapy only for major disability?

No. It is also useful for earlier balance decline, reduced confidence, slower mobility, and strength loss affecting day-to-day independence.

Can it help after a fall?

Yes. Recovery after a fall often includes rebuilding confidence, balance, gait quality, and lower-limb strength.

Will treatment be too intense for older adults?

It should not be. Good geriatric physiotherapy is scaled to the person's current ability, health status, and goals.

Can family members be involved in planning?

Yes. Family input can be helpful when safety, home mobility, or practical support are part of the goals.
