Senior Specific In-Home Rehabilitation

Senior specific rehabilitation involves a combination of physiotherapy, occupational therapy and kinesiology tailored towards aging individuals. As people age, they may experience a variety of physical changes that can impact their mobility, independence, and overall quality of life. FisioMed‘s senior-focussed rehabilitation aims to address these changes and help older adults maintain or improve their physical and functional abilities.

Physical Therapy Services For Older Patients

Senior-specific rehabilitation may involve a combination of services, such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy and kinesiology. These services are designed to help older adults recover from illness or injury, manage chronic conditions, improve their balance and mobility, and reduce their risk of falls and other health complications. Overall, senior-specific rehabilitation aims to promote the overall health and well-being of older adults by addressing their unique needs and helping them maintain their independence and quality of life as they age. 

There is no denying that advanced age can take its toll on your muscles, joints, ligaments, tissues and everything in between. But by no means should this mean your hobbies and daily activities need to take a back seat. By choosing senior mobile in-home rehabilitation, it can eliminate the inconvenience of travel, unpleasant weather, and the anxiety of long wait times. Treatment in a familiar environment, can often lead to better compliance with treatment and yield higher rates of improvement.

Shortage of rehabilitation staff in our hospitals can result in patients not receiving regular physiotherapy, which can lead to a decline in physical function due to limited movement. Private physiotherapists can provide the necessary physiotherapy that patients require, even when in the hospital setting. This can help prevent further physical decline and promote a quicker recovery.
