Understanding the Difference
How Geriatric Physiotherapy Differs from Regular Physiotherapy
A 70-year-old recovering from hip replacement has vastly different needs, risks, and goals than a 30-year-old athlete with the same surgery.
Regular Physiotherapy
- Treats isolated injuries one at a time
- Standard protocols not adapted for aging tissue
- Fall prevention treated as an afterthought, if at all
- Focused on abstract strength or range-of-motion gains
Our Geriatric Approach
- Manages multiple coexisting conditions together, safely
- Age-appropriate protocols for slower healing & reduced bone density
- Balance assessment & fall prevention built into every session
- Focused on functional movements — bathing, cooking, walking to the temple

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about geriatric physiotherapy, safety, sessions, and home care across Delhi NCR.
1 Getting Started
What is geriatric physiotherapy and how is it different from regular physiotherapy?
Geriatric physiotherapy is specialized care designed exclusively for older adults (typically 60+). Unlike regular physiotherapy that treats isolated injuries, it addresses the complex, interconnected changes of aging — managing multiple coexisting conditions together, using age-appropriate protocols for slower healing and reduced bone density, building fall prevention into every session, and focusing on functional movements like bathing, cooking, and walking to the market.
Do I need a doctor's referral for geriatric physiotherapy services?
No, a referral is not required — you can contact us directly to schedule an assessment. That said, we recommend physician coordination if you've recently had surgery, manage multiple chronic conditions, take medications like blood thinners, have cardiac or respiratory conditions, or need documentation for insurance reimbursement.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies by condition. Typical ranges include: hip replacement rehab, 12-24 sessions over 3-6 months; knee replacement, 16-28 sessions over 4-6 months; cardiac surgery, 8-16 sessions over 2-4 months; fall prevention programs, 8-12 sessions over 2-3 months; and arthritis management, 12-20 sessions over 3-5 months. Each session runs 45-60 minutes, and your initial assessment will confirm a specific plan.
2 Safety, Comfort & Recovery
Is treatment safe for patients with multiple health conditions?
Yes. Our therapists are trained to treat seniors with osteoporosis, heart disease and pacemakers, diabetes, multiple-joint arthritis, dementia, stroke history, respiratory conditions, and Parkinson's — often simultaneously — with comprehensive medical screening, vital sign monitoring, and modified exercises throughout.
Will treatment be painful?
You may feel mild, temporary discomfort, but significant pain is never the goal. Mild muscle soreness for 24-48 hours after exercise is normal and should resolve within 1-2 days. Sharp or worsening pain, new swelling, or pain that disrupts sleep is not normal — please contact us immediately if that happens.
When should I start rehabilitation after joint replacement surgery?
Ideally within 24-48 hours after surgery, often while still in hospital, with outpatient therapy beginning 3-5 days after discharge. Early mobilization prevents joint stiffness, maintains circulation, and significantly improves long-term outcomes — hip replacement patients typically walk independently by week 8-12, with full recovery in 6-12 months.
3 Specialized Conditions
What increases fall risk, and how does the fall prevention program work?
Key risk factors include weak leg muscles, poor balance, vision problems, medication side effects, home hazards, improper footwear, and fear of falling. Our program combines a comprehensive fall-risk assessment, balance training, targeted strengthening, gait training, home safety evaluation, and assistive device fitting — research shows comprehensive programs reduce fall risk by 30-50%.
Can Parkinson's physiotherapy help symptoms?
Yes. Targeted physiotherapy helps manage bradykinesia, rigidity, freezing of gait, shuffling walk, and stooped posture through bigger/faster movement training, stretching, cueing strategies, and postural exercises. Starting immediately after diagnosis provides the best long-term outcomes.
Can physiotherapy cure arthritis or help me avoid joint replacement surgery?
Physiotherapy cannot cure arthritis, but it can significantly reduce pain (by 30-50%), improve joint function, and strengthen supporting muscles. Studies show 40-50% of patients with mild-to-moderate knee arthritis who complete a full program avoid or indefinitely postpone surgery, and comprehensive treatment can delay joint replacement by 2-5 years or more.
4 Home Care & Access
Do you offer home physiotherapy for elderly across Delhi NCR? Is it more expensive?
Yes, we serve all of Delhi NCR with home visits — ideal for those recently discharged after surgery, homebound seniors, or anyone finding travel difficult. Home care does cost more than clinic visits due to travel time, though many find it cost-effective overall once transportation and exhaustion are factored in. Package rates are available, and we provide full documentation for insurance reimbursement.
