Ageing brings unique physiological changes that require a specialized approach to rehabilitation. Our senior physiotherapy programs are designed to maintain independence, prevent falls, manage chronic conditions, and keep you active and strong throughout life.
Adults over 65 represent the fastest-growing segment of physiotherapy patients — and the group with the most to gain. Research consistently shows that supervised exercise and physiotherapy reduce fall risk by up to 40%, delay functional decline, and improve quality of life more effectively than any medication.
Many older adults are told that pain and limitation are ‘just part of getting older.’ We disagree. Age-related changes are real, but loss of function is not inevitable. Targeted physiotherapy rebuilds strength, balance, and mobility at any age.
Evidence-based balance and proprioception programs — Otago Exercise Programme and similar protocols with 35–40% fall risk reduction.
Progressive resistance training to rebuild muscle mass (sarcopenia), bone density, and functional strength.
Gentle joint mobilization and soft tissue therapy appropriate for older adults with osteoporosis and joint changes.
Walking aid assessment, gait retraining, and assistive device fitting to restore safe and confident mobility.
Home environment safety evaluation identifying fall hazards — lighting, floor surfaces, grab bars, and furniture placement.
Multimodal pain management combining laser therapy, acupuncture, manual therapy, and graded exercise.
Your initial assessment is 45–60 minutes and includes a comprehensive functional evaluation — strength, balance, gait, joint range of motion, pain assessment, and fall history. We work at your pace, always explaining what we are doing and why.
Senior physiotherapy is typically ongoing — fall prevention and strength programs are most effective when maintained over 3–6 months. We involve family members and caregivers in the process when helpful and provide clear home exercise programs at every stage.
