- Comprehensive Assessment
Each treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment, where I evaluate your physical health, identify areas of concern, and discuss your goals. Whether you’re experiencing pain, weakness, or balance issues, I create a tailored treatment plan that addresses your specific needs. I also consider other factors such as medical history, lifestyle, and mobility challenges.
- Individualized Treatment Plans
No two elderly patients are the same, which is why I design individualized treatment plans. These plans incorporate a range of physiotherapy interventions, including:
- Strengthening exercises to improve muscle function and endurance.
- Stretching exercises to improve flexibility and range of motion.
- Balance training to reduce the risk of falls and improve stability.
- Pain management techniques to alleviate chronic pain.
- Posture correction to prevent strain and enhance spinal health.
- Fall Prevention and Balance Training
Falls are one of the most common causes of injury in the elderly, often leading to fractures and reduced independence. Fall prevention is a key focus in elderly physiotherapy care. I help elderly individuals improve their balance and coordination through targeted exercises and techniques. These exercises strengthen the muscles and joints that support stability, ensuring a safer and more confident approach to walking and movement.
- Post-Surgery Rehabilitation
Surgical recovery, especially in older adults, can be challenging. Our post-surgery rehabilitation programs focus on restoring function and improving mobility after surgeries such as hip replacements, knee replacements, or spinal surgery. Physiotherapy can accelerate recovery by:
- Reducing pain and swelling.
- Improving joint range of motion.
- Strengthening muscles around the surgical area.
- Restoring full functional movement.
- Chronic Pain Management
Many older adults suffer from chronic pain due to arthritis, osteoporosis, or muscle degeneration. I use a variety of techniques to manage chronic pain, including:
- Manual therapy to mobilize joints and reduce muscle tension.
- Therapeutic exercises to strengthen muscles and reduce strain.
- Modalities like heat, cold, and ultrasound therapy to relieve pain and inflammation.
- Education and Self-Management
I believe in empowering elderly patients to take control of their health and well-being. Along with hands-on treatment, I provide education on self-management strategies. This includes advice on posture, ergonomic setups, pain management, fall prevention, and maintaining an active lifestyle.
