Geriatric Physiotherapy for Seniors
Geriatric physiotherapy keeps seniors mobile, independent and fall-free. Programs cover arthritis management, balance training, post-fall recovery and home physiotherapy options.
What to expect
Manual Therapy
Hands-on techniques including joint mobilisation, soft tissue massage, myofascial release and trigger point therapy. Used to reduce pain, restore movement and break down adhesions in muscles and connective tissue.
Exercise Therapy
The cornerstone of modern physiotherapy. Progressive, individualised exercises restore strength, mobility and motor control — the only intervention proven to produce long-term changes in tissue and function.
Dry Needling
Fine needles inserted into trigger points to release tight muscle bands. Effective for chronic muscle tension, headaches, and stubborn pain that doesn't respond to massage alone. Different from acupuncture in approach and goal.
Electrotherapy
Modalities like TENS, ultrasound, IFT and laser used to reduce pain and inflammation, especially in the early stages of injury. Always combined with exercise — never used as a standalone treatment.
