Care for older people - Bounce Back Physiotherapy can help to restore your health and fitness

Caring for older people
We have a large population of older people in Chingford, with 21% being 65 years or older according to the office of national statistics: https://www.citypopulation.de/en/uk/london/wards/.

Getting older certainly presents challenges. Whether you are fit as a fiddle, or experiencing some health problems, physiotherapy can be very beneficial.

Obviously we can help with any injuries or post-surgical recovery but there is more that we can do. For example, balance can become an issue, increasing the risk of falling. With education and an exercise program, balance is a system that can be restored and improved at any age.
Even when any injuries have healed, someone who has fallen often loses confidence and may be less willing to walk outside without always looking down. This robs us of a vital balance system called proprioception: https://www.physio-pedia.com/Proprioception?utm_source=physiopedia&utm_medium=search&utm_campaign=ongoing_internal. This in turn increases our risk of falling. This sprial can wreak havoc on a person's confidence and quality of life.
