Physiotherapy at your Care Home or Supported Living Centre


Working with a physiotherapist while at a care home or supported living centre can provide several benefits, particularly if you or your loved one has specific health challenges or physical limitations. These include:
​​
-
Personalized Care: A physiotherapist can create a tailored program to address your unique needs, whether it’s improving mobility, strength, balance, or managing chronic pain.
​
-
Prevention of Complications: Regular physiotherapy and activity can help prevent issues like muscle atrophy, bedsores, or joint stiffness, which are common in seniors with limited mobility.
​
-
Improved Quality of Life: Physiotherapy helps to maintain independence by improving functional abilities, making daily activities like walking, dressing, or bathing easier and safer.
​
-
Fall Prevention: A physiotherapist can work on balance, strength, and mobility to reduce the risk of falls and the associated injuries.
​
-
Chronic Disease Management: If you have problems due to other medical problems, such as arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, or post-stroke disabilities, a physiotherapist can help manage symptoms and slow the progression of these diseases.
​
-
Rehabilitation Post-Injury or Surgery: If you have recently undergone surgery or experienced an injury, physiotherapy can help with recovery; regaining strength and mobility faster.
​
-
Mental Well-Being: Regular movement and exercises tailored to your abilities can also boost mood and mental health, reducing anxiety or depression often associated with reduced mobility.

Having a physio for you or your loved one in a care home ensures their physical health is actively managed, contributing to both their physical and emotional well-being.
