Geriatric Rehabilitation
Growing older should not mean giving up independence. Yet many older adults slowly lose strength, balance and confidence, and a single fall, illness or surgery can quickly change daily life. The reassuring truth is that bodies can respond to exercise at any age. Strength, balance and stamina can all be improved well into the eighties and nineties.
Geriatric Rehabilitation at Physiovista Healthcare Network is a specialised service for older adults. We help seniors stay active, prevent falls, recover from illness or surgery and manage long-term conditions, so they can remain independent and enjoy life with their families.
About Our Geriatric Rehabilitation Service
Ageing brings natural changes: reduced muscle mass, slower reflexes, stiffer joints, weaker bones and often multiple health conditions. Together these raise the risk of falls, fractures, hospital stays and loss of independence. Geriatric rehabilitation addresses these risks directly.
At Physiovista, geriatric rehabilitation begins with a gentle, thorough assessment of strength, balance, walking speed, joint movement, bone health, memory and mood, medications and the home environment. Our therapists are patient and unhurried, and we involve family members as partners. Programmes are tailored to your ability and conditions, combining strength, balance, flexibility and endurance training with pain management and practical advice. Where useful, we offer home-based sessions and caregiver training.
Our service is suited to you or your parent if there is:

Why Choose Physiovista for Geriatric Care?
What to Expect at Your First Visit
The first visit usually takes about an hour and a family member is welcome to join. We review medicines and past illnesses, test strength and balance, watch you walk and rise from a chair, and listen to your concerns. Please bring your glasses, walking aids, medicine list and any recent hospital reports.
Helpful habits for seniors: walk daily, do sit-to-stand exercises at home, use good lighting and non-slip footwear, keep floors clear, get regular eye and hearing checks, eat enough protein, ensure adequate vitamin D and calcium as advised by your doctor and stay socially active.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Research shows that strength and balance improve at any age, even in people in their nineties. The key is starting at the right level.
Strength and balance training, regular eye checks, medication review, good footwear and a safe home all reduce falls. We help with each of these.
Yes, and it is important. Weight-bearing and strengthening exercises help maintain bone. We avoid risky movements such as deep forward bending and teach safe alternatives.
Usually the day after surgery, under your surgeon's instructions. Early movement reduces complications and speeds recovery.
We can arrange home-based sessions where available, which is often best for frail or bed-bound patients.
Yes. Regular, simple movement helps maintain mobility, mood and independence. Our therapists use patient, routine-based methods.
Aim for some activity most days, including strength and balance exercises at least two to three times a week. We will tailor this to your abilities.
Walking is excellent for fitness, but it does not build enough leg strength or balance alone. Adding sit-to-stand practice, light resistance exercises and balance work gives much better protection against falls.
