How Does Our Geriatric Physical Therapy Sessions Help Older Adults?

The licensed physiotherapy experts at Nexx use it preventatively. We conduct physiotherapy sessions to prevent any injury before it happens or repeats. Be assured that our treatment method will help the older adults to return to their general fitness levels.

How Does Our Geriatric Physiotherapy Differ From General Therapy?

Geriatric physiotherapy may seem minutely different from general therapy. But the difference goes deeper than that.

In geriatric physiotherapy at home, our medical professionals design the treatment sessions and physical activities while referring to the individual patient reports. We take a close look into the detailed health report information before asking the senior patient to engage in any treatment. While the general therapy is not tailored according to the individuals, they are generic therapies followed for all patients.

Our Geriatric physiotherapy treatment method primarily concentrates on developing strength and endurance in senior adults to allow them to:

  • Stay Fit
  • Averting Immobility Due To Illness Or Injury
  • Anticipate Muscle Atrophy
  • Reducing The Threat Of Falls
  • Performing Daily Activities

 Common Conditions That We Treat

If older adults are experiencing persistent pain, muscle atrophy or restricted mobility, irrespective of their age, give us a call at Nexx. We offer assistance in performing daily tasks without limitation.

Moreover, it’s necessary to understand that ageing doesn’t necessarily mean that one should start looking like a frail description of their younger self. While body aches are unavoidable after a certain age, we can help manage them and return your mobility.

Arthritis

Your joints will start swelling if you have arthritis. The tell-tale signs of arthritis include soreness, pain, and stiffness. Most people who are struggling with arthritis have either osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. At Nexx, we help you deal with this problem efficiently through our geriatric physio services.

Osteoporosis

Bone is a living tissue that is constantly breaking down to regenerate. The osteoporosis patient will have weak bones, and they will feel severe fractures if there’s any mild stress.

Aged people who have mobility restrictions or balance issues will find this form of arthritis threatening. Fortunately, there’s scope for bone tissue strengthening with specific exercise routines. With our physiotherapy sessions, you can put a stop to bone thinning, diminishing the chance of falling- thereby avoiding osteoporosis-related injuries.

Chronic Pain

You must ideally sustain any chronic pain- this is irrespective of whether it’s a reoccurring dull pain or persistent acute pain. If you have a senior patient who’s struggling with chronic pain, they will find it difficult to participate in their daily chores.

There are many cases where senior patients experience chronic pain from unhealed old injuries. Our skilled physiotherapy professionals can benefit you in identifying the source of the pain. We will implement a gentle but effective therapy treatment to ease the pain.

Restricted Mobility

Ageing can be extremely cruel since it puts a bar on motoring skills.

The general physiotherapy plans at Nexx involve gentle, repetitive mobilisation techniques for seniors. Combining physical exercises and stretching with electrical stimulation can effectively relax the sore muscles and tissues. Moreover, these sessions also work on strengthening the supporting tissues to improve the flexibility, strength and mobility of the aged patient.

Post-Surgery Recovery

Recovery from surgeries tends to be a time-consuming process for general patients. However, if the patient is a senior individual, then the recovery process can take much longer and need medical supervision. Therefore, you may find it beneficial to call in our at-home physiotherapy support for elderly patients who are in a recovery process post-surgery.

Loss Of Independence

Ageing slows you down- no amount of physical labour and exercise can delay that inevitability. Moreover, the pains and aches become your unwanted companion for a long time. However, our physiotherapy methods can benefit you by improving your motoring skills.

With the professional physiotherapist from Nexx support, the elderly patient can move properly for their daily activities. Our physiotherapy services ensure a fast recovery from injuries and surgeries through strength-building exercises.
