Geriatric Physiotherapy (Senior Care)

Geriatric Physiotherapy (Senior Care)

Geriatric Physiotherapy is a specialized physiotherapy service designed to improve the mobility, strength, balance, and overall quality of life of older adults. As people age, they may experience joint pain, muscle weakness, arthritis, balance disorders, reduced flexibility, and difficulty performing daily activities. These conditions can affect independence and increase the risk of falls. At AVM Physiotherapy Clinic, we provide personalized geriatric physiotherapy programs that help senior citizens maintain an active lifestyle, manage age-related conditions, and improve their overall physical well-being through safe and evidence-based rehabilitation.
