Where Can We Help?

Our aged care physiotherapy can provide assistance to the elderly in a range of environments, including:

• Aged care facilities
• Nursing homes (high and low level care)
• Hostels and supported residential services
• Retirement villages

In addition, we can work with and assist clients from the comfort and privacy of their own home or Villa. Our goal is to help each patient feel safe and relaxed to maximise the effects and benefits.

Improving Quality of Life for the Elderly

As people get older, physical health and mental acuity inevitably diminishes. However, exercise on a regular basis can slow down the process. Physical activity makes use of and strengthens the muscles, preventing atrophy that might otherwise lead to issues or accidents. For example, an elderly person who walks and makes use of their legs will generally be more capable of supporting their weight.

Aged care physiotherapy has the added bonus of alleviating pain, discomfort and symptoms caused by various age-related conditions. It can also improve mental wellbeing dramatically. Patients can feel like they’re being productive and accomplishing something in addition to enjoying the social aspects. Inactivity, on the other hand, can cause fatigue and low moods.
