World-Class Geriatric Physiotherapy in South Delhi

Physio Expert is one of the most well-known physio care centres in Delhi for elderly care. We serve the geriatric population with the utmost care and in a friendly environment to let them live a normal healthy lifestyle. Geriatric rehabilitation plays an important role in the growing life expectancy across the world. India is in a phase of demographic transition where the geriatric population can increase by more than 200% between 2006 and 2050. At present, the elderly society is divided into 3 categories – 60-70 yrs are the young old, 70-80 yrs are the middle-aged and 80 plus are the oldest ones.

The increase in life expectancy of older age has increased the demand for physio care in India. Rapid urbanization and lifestyle changes have raised a host of problems, especially among elderly people. They need special care and attention, for which Physio Care is dominated.

This field addresses a range of age-related issues, including:

1. Mobility and Balance: Exercises and interventions to enhance strength, flexibility, coordination, and balance, helping prevent falls and improve mobility.

2. Pain Management: Techniques to alleviate chronic pain associated with conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis, and other musculoskeletal disorders.

3. Rehabilitation: Post-operative and post-injury rehabilitation to facilitate recovery and restore function after surgeries or fractures.

4. Chronic Conditions: Management of chronic diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, stroke, and cardiovascular diseases through tailored exercise programs and physical therapy interventions.

5. Functional Independence: Activities and therapies designed to maintain or regain the ability to perform daily living activities, enhancing overall quality of life.

Geriatric physiotherapists often work in various settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and home care, providing personalized care plans to meet the individual needs of elderly patients.

How Does Our Geriatric Physiotherapy in Delhi Best?

At our Delhi-based centre, we offer comprehensive geriatric services.

Our goal is to provide functional independence to elder ones because many elders in India are suffering from acute to chronic illnesses which lead to the loss of day-to-day function.

Our geriatric rehabilitation works in three areas-

normal ageing due to deconditioning and disuse
Cardiovascular issues like stroke and breathing problems
Skeletal problems like osteoarthritis and surgeries on hip or joints
Our trained physiotherapists make elderly people’s lifestyle easy with exercises for endurance and strength of muscles so that they can lift a jug, make a bed and wash their clothes.

Walking Rehabilitation

We provide special walking programs for those elders who have difficulties in walking due to a fall, an injury or joint pain. In this case, patients may develop psychomotor regression syndrome (PRS). It is related to motor symptoms and psychological disorder.

Our experts help to deal with both motor and psychological disorder of the patient through medical tools, massages and body movement exercises. It takes time to get satisfactory results.
