Staying on your feet, safe and independent
Strength and balance can be trained at any age. Physiotherapy helps older people prevent falls, recover after a hospital stay or surgery, and keep doing their daily activities on their own. We see you at the practice or at home.
Booking for a parent or relative? You can contact us yourself: we will arrange the first assessment together.
We work with Tertianum Residenza Du Lac
We provide physiotherapy for the residents of the retirement home in Paradiso. This daily work with older people, their families and care staff is experience we also bring to the practice and to home visits.
Tertianum Residenza Du Lac ↗What we treat
Concrete goals, chosen together: getting up from a chair without help, climbing stairs, going out for a walk safely.
- Balance and fall prevention For people who have already fallen, are afraid of falling or feel unsteady when walking.
- After a hospital stay Regaining strength and independence after a stay in hospital or a clinic.
- Joint replacements and fractures Rehabilitation after hip or knee replacement and after a hip or wrist fracture.
- Osteoarthritis and joint pain Reducing pain and keeping knees, hips, back and hands moving.
- Loss of strength When your legs "don't hold you up" like they used to: well-dosed training restores strength at any age.
- Home visits When getting out is difficult, we come to you: we also look at safety at home.
How we work
- 01 Listening and assessment We listen to the person and, if they wish, to their family. We measure balance, strength and walking with simple tests.
- 02 Everyday goals Together we choose what matters: doing the shopping, tending the garden, visiting the grandchildren.
- 03 Tailored exercise Balance, strength and walking, at an intensity suited to the person and increased gradually over time.
- 04 Continuity A simple programme to follow at home and, when physiotherapy ends, personal training to maintain the results.
