Maintaining movement and independence can become more challenging with age, illness or injury. Physiotherapy can help an older person and their support network work towards goals that matter to everyday life.
Everyday mobility and function
A physiotherapist may assess walking, transfers, balance, strength and the activities a person wants or needs to do. The care plan should reflect the person’s preferences, living environment, medical history and current function.
A practical, individual plan
Depending on need, strategies may include strength and balance exercise, task practice, walking advice, home-safety discussion or carer education. There is no universal program; progress and safety should be reviewed.
