At ID Physio, we specialise in falls prevention, balance & mobility improvement in elderly and vestibular assessments.
As we get older, changes occur in all our body systems such as reduced muscle power, poorer balance or eyesight, increased weight, lowered coordination, painful joints, slower comprehension and reduced ability to react quickly to circumstances. Mostly we cope well with these as the changes are slow and we adapt, but if the changes are rapid or we have several challenges all at once, this can negatively affect our independence and mobility.
These changes do not have to be accepted wholly as an inevitable part of ageing, however. We can do a lot to prevent our abilities deteriorating and limit the impact that has on our lives.
Physiotherapy for Older People
We have a wide range of skills that can benefit many conditions suffered by elderly people. Elderly care physiotherapists specialise in the assessment, treatment and long-term management of older people in their homes, in hospitals and in care homes.
