Working Out with a Physio Ball

care home visits


How can physiotherapy help you?

 

We have extensive experience in visiting care homes, and we are committed to helping the most vulnerable and important people in our community. We treat the elderly for a variety of problems, both acute and chronic.


Much of our work involves helping reduce pain, improve mobility and balance, and regain confidence following a fall.

​

If your loved one is unable to mobilise, our physiotherapists can carry out exercises to improve flexibility and strength in addition to aiding physical and mental stimulation.

 

We understand that care homes are often very busy, and staff may not always have time to encourage walking and movement.
