Senior Care
As we age, our bodies undergo a variety of physical changes, including reduction in bone density, decrease in muscle mass and strength, wearing of joint cartilage, and weakening of ligaments and tendons. Older adults may suffer from a range of conditions, such as arthritis, neck and back pain, joint pain, muscle stiffness and weakness, and ligament damage, which can restrict their mobility, limit their independence, and make it more challenging for them to engage in daily activities.
Physiotherapy is one solution that can help address and lessen some of the physical challenges associated with aging. In Home Physio Care offers in-home physiotherapy services to seniors living at home, in retirement communities or long term care to assist seniors in maintaining their mobility, strength, and independence, decreasing or managing pain, and improving overall function.
Our physiotherapist has experience offering:
- Active exercise and conditioning programs for older adults to progress and maintain strength and mobility.
- Balance programs for older adults to improve safety, endurance, and independence.
- Falls Prevention programs for older adults to reduce the risk of falls and to help stay healthy, active, and mobile.
- Physiotherapy for older adults who recently had a fracture, surgery, or hospital stay and are returning home.
Neurological Physiotherapy
Neurological physiotherapy aims to assist individuals who have suffered physical impairment caused by neurological conditions (i.e., affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nerves). Neurological physiotherapy applies the phenomenon of neuroplasticity, where the brain forms new synaptic connections to learn/re-learn abilities to regain mobility and strength, improve function, reduce symptoms, build endurance and stamina, and restore independence.
In Home Physio Care provides therapeutic exercises and activities such as stretching and strengthening, gait retraining, balance and proprioception training, postural training, joint mobilization and spasticity management, and education.
In home physiotherapy can provide individuals with a sense of independence and control, which can reduce the load on their family and caregivers.
In Home Physio Care has experience working with a variety of neurological conditions including:
- Stroke
- Traumatic/acquired brain injury
- Multiple sclerosis
- Parkinson’s disease
- Spinal cord injury
- Cerebral palsy
