Elderly Rehabilitation

As we age, maintaining mobility, strength, and independence becomes increasingly important. At DT Physio, I provide specialist home-based physiotherapy designed to support older adults in improving their function, confidence, and overall quality of life. Whether recovering from an illness, surgery, or experiencing a decline in mobility, physiotherapy can help regain strength and prevent further deterioration.

​

How Physiotherapy Can Help

​

Elderly rehabilitation focuses on helping individuals maintain or regain independence in their daily activities. My approach is tailored to each person’s needs and may include:

​

• Strength & Balance Training: Reducing the risk of falls and improving stability. 

• Mobility Support: Helping with walking confidence, stair navigation, & daily movement

• Falls Prevention & Recovery: Addressing balance issues and reducing fear of falling.

• Post-Hospital Rehabilitation: Supporting recovery from illness, injury, or surgery.

• Pain Management: Addressing joint stiffness, arthritis, and other age-related conditions.

• Confidence Building: Encouraging safe, independent movement at home and outdoors.

 

Home-Based Rehabilitation

​

Many older adults prefer receiving physiotherapy in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest. My sessions are one-to-one and fully personalised, ensuring exercises and techniques are practical and realistic for their environment. I also offer advice on home adaptations and mobility aids to make daily life easier.

Elderly rehabilitation is suitable for individuals experiencing:

• Reduced mobility or strength due to ageing, illness, or inactivity.

• Recovery challenges following surgery (e.g., hip or knee replacement).

• Conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, stroke, or neurological disorders.
