Geriatric physiotherapy consultations for older patients with complex needs

As an older patient, you may have several medical conditions or impairments. You want to understand how the problems you experience affect your daily functioning.

You want to know: “What can I do to keep functioning independently (for as long as possible)?” You can come to me for advice. I will assess your strength, agility, ability to walk, risk of falling and other factors. I use questionnaires and will evaluate your physical functioning. Together we can discuss your goals and capabilities. I will recommend certain exercises that you can do on your own. Or we can discuss the possibility of enlisting the help of a physio or remedial therapist or a personal trainer.
