With aging, many seniors face challenges related to loss of physical function, chronic pain, chronic diseases, and decreased quality of life.
Geriatric physical therapy addresses these issues through a holistic approach, which includes assessment of physical function, prescription of exercises tailored to individual needs, and interventions to improve mobility, balance, muscle strength, and flexibility. Additionally, physical therapists provide guidance on home safety, fall prevention, and pain management, thus promoting healthy and active aging.

Physiotherapists specialized in geriatrics understand the unique needs of the elderly and develop individualized treatment plans aimed at improving mobility, promoting safety, and facilitating participation in daily activities.
