Geriatric physiotherapy is a specialized area of physical therapy that focuses on the unique needs of older adults. As we age, our bodies undergo various changes that can affect mobility, balance, strength, and overall independence. Our programs are designed to help seniors maintain their quality of life, prevent falls, and manage age-related conditions.
