As the global population ages, the demand for geriatric physiotherapy continues to grow. With age, our body undergoes numerous changes—reduced muscle strength, joint flexibility, and an increased risk of chronic health issues.
Geriatric physiotherapy is a specialised field of physiotherapy that addresses the unique physical challenges faced by older adults. It focuses on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and promoting independence in daily activities.
This blog covers the importance of geriatric physiotherapy, its benefits, and the role of physiotherapists in enhancing function and quality of life in older adults.
