Falls Prevention & Elderly Rehabilitation
Neurological physiotherapy plays a crucial role in falls prevention and elderly rehabilitation by addressing the underlying issues that affect balance, coordination, and mobility.
As people age, neurological changes such as slower reflexes, reduced proprioception, muscle weakness and visual and hearing impairments can all increase the risk of falls. These changes can also affect functional capacity, social engagement and independence.
360Neuro Physio deliver targeted exercise programmes to enhance balance, gait stability, and reaction time, while also improving muscular and cardiovascular strength and postural control. Treatments help older adults navigate their environments more safely and confidently.
Additionally, by working on cognitive-motor functions and addressing any neurological conditions contributing to instability (such as Parkinson’s or peripheral neuropathy), neurological physiotherapy supports overall functional independence and quality of life in the elderly population. 360Neuro Physio also has good experience of working with those with Dementia.
Common problems we treat in the elderly population:
- Muscle weakness
- Joint stiffness
- Pain
- Arthritis
- General inactivity and reduced fitness
- Falls, reduced balance and mobility
- Reduced independence
- Fractures/surgery or joint replacements e.g. knee, hip, shoulder
