[Case Study] – David’s aged care home physio experience.

Here’s the story of our client, David, who, with the help of his sister, Terry, and a TPC physio, improved his strength, balance and confidence with a series of physio appointments in his aged care home.

Need a private physio to visit you, your Mum or Dad in an aged care facility?

Getting caring and personalised help from a physiotherapist in an aged care facility or a nursing home is not always easy. And getting to a physio clinic for residents of aged care facilities is almost impossible. We can help by coming to your aged care facility!
If you’d like to book a private aged care physiotherapy visit with The Physio Co, our caring and experienced team will:
  • guide you through how we work together and book the first appointment over the phone;
  • a private physiotherapist will then visit you in your room for your first appointment;
  • the physio will listen closely to what pain and/or health problems that are troubling you;
  • they will then complete an assessment of your injury and /or what’s causing the problem/s.
  • after the assessment, the physio will create a one-page plan to achieve your health goals**;
  • once we have agreed on the the plan, your physio will conduct physiotherapy treatment in the most convenient location possible: in your aged care facility.
**We can share the goal plan with family and/or doctors and carers so we all work together on helping smash the goals!

Aged Care Physiotherapy Treatment

Your aged care physiotherapists will be working with you doing exercises, stretches improve muscle strength and that is what the exercises are aimed at improving strength as well as improving flexibility and thus mobility.  

Massages by your physio are aimed at improving damaged or knotted muscles, helping to drain fluid, relieving pain and stiffness, improving blood circulation as well as increasing flexibility.

Usually a physio regeneration program (that is, a program to improve strength and flexibility and mobility) is around 3 months.  Initially your physio will be coming to you twice a week.  

After a couple of weeks, if improvement has been made the physio visits may change to once a week.  Usually within a month or a month and a patient experiences increased strength and mobility. At this stage visits will may again be reduced to once a fortnight – all depending on your progress and preference.  

Besides the physio visits, for real gains to be made you will need to also do the exercises that your physiotherapist advises upon.

Don’t forget having fun will also be part of your treatment plan…
