Geriatric (Senior Citizen) Physiotherapy
Mobility Support • Balance Care • Functional Strength
Geriatric Physiotherapy at Ukroots is designed to support physical function in older adults through structured movement care. With age, changes in muscle strength, joint stability, and balance can affect daily activities. This form of physiotherapy focuses on maintaining comfort, independence, and safe movement.
Therapy is introduced gradually, keeping physical tolerance and safety as the primary priorities.
Understanding Physical Changes with Aging
As the body ages, muscle response slows, joint flexibility reduces, and balance control may become less reliable. These changes can influence walking confidence, posture, and overall physical activity levels.
At Ukroots, geriatric physiotherapy focuses on maintaining functional ability and reducing movement-related limitations rather than pushing physical intensity.
How Geriatric Physiotherapy Works at Ukroots
Therapy begins with observation of movement, balance response, and physical endurance. Based on this assessment, a personalized physiotherapy plan is created.
Progress is introduced at a pace suitable for comfort and safety.
