Helping Seniors Stay Active and Independent

Susan

Supporting Movement, Restoring Confidence

Imagine this: Your mum used to enjoy her morning walks, but lately, she’s been avoiding them. Her legs feel weaker, and she worries about losing her balance. What was once a simple stroll around the block now feels uncertain.

Meet Susan, a retired teacher who started feeling unsteady on her feet. Her daughter, Lisa, noticed she was moving less and struggling with daily activities. When Lisa found our physiotherapy program, everything changed.

When to Consider Physiotherapy Support

Staying strong and mobile is key to maintaining confidence and independence. At Summit Health Solutions, our physiotherapy services help seniors move more easily and stay active in their daily lives.

Recognizing Mobility Challenges

Have you noticed stiffness, trouble walking, or difficulty getting up from a chair? Weak muscles, joint pain, and balance issues can make daily tasks harder. Our team assesses these challenges and creates a plan to improve movement and strength.

Preventing Injuries and Staying Independent

Limited mobility can lead to falls, injuries, and a loss of confidence. Physiotherapy helps with strength training, flexibility, and movement support to keep seniors safe and independent.

Supporting Confidence and Daily Movement

Pain or fear of falling can stop seniors from enjoying daily activities. Our physiotherapists provide expert guidance to help seniors regain confidence and stay active.

Receiving Support at Home

Getting to appointments can be difficult, so we bring physiotherapy to you. Our home visits include personalised assessments, guided exercises, and mobility support, making movement easier and safer.

Getting Physiotherapy Through Home Care Packages

If you want to know what’s included in HCP funding, you can check out our Home Care Packages article here. We focused on what’s covered, including:

Home visits for assessments and therapy

Personalized exercise plans to improve mobility and strength

Pain Management, post surgery rehabilitation, falls prevention and more

While things like general fitness programs or non-medical treatments aren’t covered, our team helps you make the most of your funding and navigate the guidelines.

Identifying the Need for Physiotherapy

Stiff joints, muscle weakness, and past injuries can make daily movement harder, but physiotherapy can help. To see if your parent could benefit, watch for these early signs.

Quick Steps You Can Take Today:

I’m going to notice if they struggle with walking, getting up from a chair, or keeping balance.

I’m going to check if they avoid certain activities due to stiffness, pain, or fear of falling.

I’m going to encourage gentle movement and stretching to ease stiffness.

I’m going to consult a professional and arrange for a physiotherapy assessment.

“Slowing Down?” It Could Be the First Sign of Decline

"Mum used to say her legs felt too weak to get out of bed in the morning. She’d sit there for ages, nervous about standing up. Since starting physio, she’s moving so much better and doesn’t think twice about getting up."

Mina, Daughter of a Client

"After Dad’s hip surgery, he barely left his chair. He kept saying he didn’t trust his legs anymore. Physio helped him get stronger, and now he’s back to his morning walks. It’s such a relief to see him up and about again."

Mark, Son of a Client

"We didn’t realise how much strength Dad had lost over time. Even simple things, like standing up from his chair, had become a struggle. A few weeks of physio made a huge difference—he’s steadier on his feet and doesn’t need as much help."

Faye, Daughter of a Client

"Mum started avoiding the shops because she felt stiff and slow. She didn’t want to hold people up. After some physio sessions and a few easy exercises at home, she’s back to doing her own errands. She’s so much happier now."

Sammy, Son of a Client

"Grandpa used to joke that he was ‘too old’ to get stronger. But after a few weeks of physio, he’s walking with more confidence and even talking about getting back into gardening. It’s amazing to see the change in him."

Cathy, Granddaughter of a Client
