Geriatric Physiotherapy
Geriatric Rehabilitation (GR) is defined as 'a multidimensional approach of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, the purpose of which is to optimize functional capacity, promote activity and preserve functional reserve and social participation in older people with disabling impairments
Physiotherapy can help reduce pain and inflammation you may be experiencing related to aging. It's a great way to prevent and manage conditions like arthritis, back pain, flexibility or mobility issues, muscle weakness or stiffness, and joint pain.
Disorder we treat in Geriatric Physiotherapy:
- 1. Cardiovascular Disorders in Elderly
- Acute myocardial infarction
- Coronary heart disease
- Arrhythmias and conduction disturbances
- Hypertension
- Congestive cardiac failure
- 2. Respiratory Disorders in Elderly
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Asthma
- Pulmonary embolism
- 3. Musculoskeletal Disorders in Elderly
- Osteoporosis
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Gout Arthritis
- 4.Falls prevention in Elderly
- The Role of Balance Control
- Age-related Changes in Balance and Gait Pattern
- 5. Neurological Disorders in Elderly
- Stroke
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Peripheral Neuropathy
CARDIOPULMONARY PHYSIOTHERAPY
Cardiorespiratory physiotherapy is an area of physiotherapy that specialises in the prevention, rehabilitation, and compensation of patient with diseases and injuries in the heart and lungs. These conditions may manifest themselves as shortness of breath, persistent cough, increased work of breathing or the reduced ability to exercise.
Common cardiorespiratory conditions include:
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Asthma
- Bronchiectasis
- Bronchitis
- Emphysema
- Congestive Cardiac Failure (CCF)
- Respiratory Infections, i.e. Pneumonia
It is now widely recognised that appropriate exercise can be an effective disease prevention strategy and is integral to the management of those with a variety of cardiorespiratory conditions.
Depending on your condition, your physiotherapy treatment may include:
- Deep Breathing Exercise: to encourage increased lung volumes
- Hands-on Techniques and Breathing Facilitation Exercises: to expand your lung capacity
- Percussions and Vibrations: to help you loosen secretions and make coughing easier
- Coughing and Breathing Strategies: to help you cough and manage your shortness of breath
- Breathing and Circulation Exercises: to prevent further respiratory and vascular complications such as chest infection and deep venous thrombosis (DVTs)
- Mobility Assistance: to move safely in bed, sit up, stand and walk
- Mobility Aids: advice, prescription and instruction on how to safely use a walking frame, or other walking aids as required
- Individually Tailored Exercises: to control your breathing pattern, build muscle strength and endurance and improve your general health and wellbeing
- Cardiorespiratory physiotherapy also plays a large role in the prevention of common complications.
