Why Every Care Home Needs a Physiotherapist – And How It Benefits Your Loved Ones
When our loved ones move right into a care home, we need them to be secure, satisfied, and as healthy as possible. One of the fine ways to help their health is with physiotherapy. Regular physio can assist older adults to live active, reduce pain, and prevent falls.
What Does a Physiotherapist Do in a Care Home?
Physiotherapists help residents enhance their power, balance, mobility, and luxury. This can include:
- Helping someone walk again after a fall or surgery
- Teaching secure ways to get out of bed or a chair
- Reducing pain from arthritis or acute injuries
- Improving stability to save you from future falls
- Offering mild sporting events that keep joints moving
Why Is Physiotherapy Important in Care Homes?
As humans age, muscle tissue gets weaker, and moving around will become harder. This can lead to extra falls, accidents, or even depression from feeling stuck or established.
Physiotherapy helps:
- Build confidence in moving safely
- Encourage extra independence in day-to-day obligations
- Prevent hospital stays
- Manage long-term conditions like Parkinson’s or stroke
- Even small upgrades could make a big difference in someone’s life.
How Often Should Residents Receive Physiotherapy?
It depends on the individual’s desires. Some can also need every day support, at the same time as others do well with classes once per week or even less. At K 7 Physiotherapy, we investigate every resident and make a plan that works for them. We additionally take a look at it regularly to see how they’re doing and update the plan as needed.
