Geriatric Physiotherapy & Fitness

Geriatric Physiotherapy & Fitness

At Nishta Physiotherapy, we specialize in Geriatric Physiotherapy & Fitness to help older adults maintain their mobility, strength, and overall well-being. As we age, our bodies naturally undergo changes that can lead to decreased mobility, muscle weakness, and an increased risk of falls and injuries. Our geriatric physiotherapy services are designed to address these challenges, promote active aging, and enhance quality of life for seniors.

What is Geriatric Physiotherapy?

Geriatric physiotherapy focuses on improving the physical function and fitness of older adults. It involves tailored exercises, manual therapy, and various techniques to address age-related conditions, prevent falls, and manage chronic health issues such as arthritis, osteoporosis, and balance disorders.

Our physiotherapists assess each patient individually, designing personalized treatment plans that focus on strengthening muscles, improving flexibility, enhancing coordination, and preventing the decline of functional abilities. By improving strength and mobility, geriatric physiotherapy helps seniors maintain independence and live healthier, more active lives.

How Does Geriatric Physiotherapy Work?

Geriatric physiotherapy aims to restore movement, reduce pain, and prevent further decline in mobility. The therapy involves a combination of exercises, therapeutic techniques, and lifestyle modifications, including:

  • Strengthening exercises: To combat muscle weakness and support joint health.
  • Balance training: To improve stability and reduce the risk of falls.
  • Joint mobilization and stretching: To enhance flexibility and reduce stiffness in the joints.
  • Posture correction: To alleviate strain on the spine and muscles, helping prevent back pain and discomfort.
  • Pain management techniques: To address chronic pain and inflammation, such as from arthritis or osteoarthritis.
  • Functional exercises: To improve the ability to perform daily activities like walking, bending, and getting up from a seated position.
