How geriatric physiotherapy may help

Walking
Distance, speed and confidence with or without a mobility aid.

Identifying and addressing risk factors inside and outside the home.
Independence
Focus on the tasks needed to keep living comfortably at home.
Maintenance
Periodic check-ins to help maintain the gains you have made.
