At PHYSTO, we provide specialized Geriatric and Pediatric Physiotherapy services to help individuals of all ages regain mobility, strength, and independence. Whether you're seeking rehabilitation for a senior loved one or a child with specific needs, our physiotherapists create personalized treatment plans to address a wide range of conditions and functional impairments.
Geriatric Physiotherapy Services
As we age, our bodies face unique challenges that can affect mobility, strength, and overall well-being. Geriatric physiotherapy focuses on helping older adults maintain or improve their physical function and manage age-related conditions. Here are some of the conditions treated through geriatric physiotherapy.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become fragile and more prone to fractures. As bone density decreases, the risk of falls and fractures increases, making it crucial to manage the condition proactively.
How Physiotherapy Helps:
- Helps improve bone density and strength through weight-bearing exercises.
- Reduces the risk of falls by improving balance and coordination.
- Provides safe, low-impact exercises to promote bone health and enhance mobility.
Neurological Conditions
(Stroke, Parkinson's, Dementia)
Neurological conditions, such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia, affect movement, coordination, and cognition. These conditions can significantly impact a person’s ability to move independently.
How Physiotherapy Helps:
- Improves strength, coordination, and balance to help restore functional mobility.
- Focuses on regaining motor skills, such as walking and sitting, to improve independence.
- Offers tailored exercises to enhance cognitive function and manage symptoms.
Frailty
Frailty refers to a condition of reduced physical resilience, often due to aging, which makes individuals more vulnerable to illnesses, falls, or injuries.
How Physiotherapy Helps:
- Strengthens muscles and improves endurance to help prevent further decline.
- Provides exercises to improve mobility, balance, and flexibility.
- Promotes overall well-being and reduces the impact of chronic conditions.
Balance Disorders
Balance disorders can cause dizziness, unsteadiness, and difficulty walking, increasing the risk of falls and injury.
How Physiotherapy Helps:
- Focuses on improving balance and coordination to restore functional mobility.
- Offers vestibular rehabilitation techniques to reduce dizziness and improve postural stability.
- Helps prevent falls through balance training and exercises to strengthen lower extremities.
Incontinence
Incontinence is the lack of bladder control, which can affect daily activities and lead to a reduced quality of life.
How Physiotherapy Helps:
- Provides pelvic floor exercises to improve bladder control.
- Helps strengthen the muscles responsible for bladder function.
- Offers tailored strategies to manage incontinence and improve overall function.
Musculoskeletal Problems
Musculoskeletal issues, such as joint pain, arthritis, and muscle stiffness, are common in older adults and can significantly impact mobility and quality of life.
How Physiotherapy Helps:
- Alleviates pain and stiffness through manual therapy and targeted exercises.
- Improves joint flexibility and muscle strength to promote better movement.
- Teaches proper posture and movement patterns to reduce strain on muscles and joints.
Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is persistent pain that can interfere with daily activities and reduce mobility and function.
How Physiotherapy Helps:
- Uses a combination of techniques, including manual therapy and exercise, to reduce pain.
- Focuses on improving posture, flexibility, and strength to alleviate discomfort.
- Provides individualized treatment plans to manage pain and improve quality of life
