Ageing is a natural part of life, but it doesn’t mean slowing down or giving up the activities you love. With the right support, older adults can stay strong, independent, and full of energy. That’s where geriatric physiotherapy comes in. At Home Physio Group, we provide expert physiotherapy tailored to seniors, helping you or your loved ones enjoy mobility, confidence, and a vibrant lifestyle well into the golden years.
What Is Geriatric Physiotherapy?
Geriatric physiotherapy is a specialist branch of physiotherapy designed for older adults. It focuses on addressing age-related conditions, improving balance, reducing pain, and maintaining independence. Whether you are recovering from surgery, living with arthritis, or simply want to stay active, geriatric physiotherapy provides safe, effective solutions.
