Physiotherapy is crucial to an older adult’s quality of life. It allows them to address a lack of mobility, which may be associated with pain, injury, or other physical conditions that can arise with getting older.
Many older adults prefer to age at home, and experienced physical therapists offer physiotherapy at home for older adults who may be losing strength, struggling to maintain balance, or coming to terms with the fact they can no longer do things that were easy for them previously.
Here at Priority Health, Care, we specialise in seniors and the challenges that their specific health conditions pose, including the following:
- Address mobility issues as the body loses strength
- Increase core stability and balance
- Understand specialized medical conditions such as arthritis and joint challenges
- Develop dexterity, strength, and stamina challenges via exercises
- Focus on preventing heart disease, diabetes from developing or worsening
- Create specialized programs of rehabilitation
- Regain your independence with their help
- Minimize falls by increasing balance
- Increase aims and probabilities for cardiovascular fitness
- Stabilize any inherent nerve damage

Home Visits: Bringing Care to You
Physiotherapy home visits overcome the problem of accessibility for elderly patients. Many older adults may have mobility issues that make the journey to a physiotherapy clinic next to impossible. There's a high chance of elderly patients missing physiotherapy appointments (and hence, slowing down their recovery) due to their lack of ability to travel to these clinics. Providing physiotherapy treatment in the comfort, familiarity, and security of their own homes removes this as a barrier to intervention.
