Aged Care Physiotherapy Services at our Chatswood practice

The primary goal of aged care physiotherapy is to allow seniors to remain independent and enhance their quality of life by improving their physical health, strength and movement.

This form of therapy involves creating individualised exercise plans and administering hands-on techniques such as massage therapy, exercise physiology, manual therapy, and joint mobilisation.

Additionally, assistive devices like walkers, wheelchairs, and canes may be employed.

Treatment for older adults may include assistance with walkers and wheelchairs.

Benefits of Physiotherapy for Seniors

There are numerous benefits that can be experienced with regular physiotherapy, which include:

Improved Mobility: Physiotherapy can help seniors improve their mobility and muscle strength and provide assistance in learning how to use assistive devices, such as walkers and wheelchairs. This can help seniors stay active and independent, reducing their risk of falls and injuries.
Pain Relief: Physiotherapy in senior care can help reduce the pain and discomfort associated with many age-related conditions, such as arthritis, joint pain, and other chronic conditions. Exercise and other treatments can help improve flexibility, strength, and range of motion, reducing pain and improving quality of life.
Increased Independence: Physiotherapy in aged care can help seniors in aged care facilities maintain and improve their independence. Strengthening exercises, balance training, and mobility aids can all help seniors remain independent and active for longer.
Improved quality of life: Physiotherapy in nursing homes can help improve the quality of life for seniors who live there. Increased mobility and decreased pain can help improve seniors’ quality of life by allowing them to participate in activities, socialise with friends, and enjoy life.

Infinity Allied Healthcare is able to assist elderly patients that reside in assisted living facilities.
