The geriatric physiotherapist specializes in the treatment of vulnerable elderly individuals and clients with complex health issues. We assist you with mobility problems, such as difficulty walking, getting out of bed or a chair, climbing stairs, or personal care. We also provide support to make household tasks easier. Physiotherapy for the elderly can contribute to maintaining independence.


Daily life at home can become challenging when an illness or condition limits your movements. You are coming from the hospital, nursing home, or rehabilitation center and still need therapy at home. A geriatric physiotherapist can also show your partner or a family member, who wants to care for you, how to manage your physical limitations.
The goal is to maintain or regain your mobility and independence for as long as possible, or to manage the loss of these abilities. We do this by guiding you in the best way, based on what you need and what is within your ability. If necessary, we will always provide advice regarding assistive devices, in consultation with an occupational therapist. Advice for informal caregivers may also be part of the process. In elderly physiotherapy, there is an extensive network available, where we can collaborate with other healthcare providers.
