Everything about geriatric physiotherapy at Ysveld Fysio

As we age, everyday activities can become more challenging. Geriatric physiotherapy focuses on improving or maintaining mobility, independence, and quality of life in older adults. At Ysveld Fysio in Nijmegen, we provide personal attention and specialized exercise therapy to help you stay active and self-reliant.

Our approach aims to slow down physical decline, enhance muscle strength and balance, and improve overall fitness. Together, we work towards practical goals that suit your daily life.

When is geriatric physiotherapy appropriate?

Geriatric physiotherapy is especially beneficial for older adults who experience reduced mobility or need support after illness or surgery. It is particularly helpful in situations such as:

• After a stroke or brain infarction
• For Parkinson’s disease
• In cases of dementia or cognitive decline
• After a hip fracture or other fall-related injuries
• With conditions like osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, or general muscle weakness
• To support chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart failure

If you feel less confident while walking or have experienced a fall, geriatric physiotherapy can help you regain strength and prevent further incidents.

What does a geriatric physiotherapy program look like?

The process begins with a comprehensive intake where we assess your situation, symptoms, and personal goals. Based on this, we create a customized treatment plan focusing on:

• Regaining mobility: Training muscle strength, coordination, and balance.
• Independent functioning: Exercises focused on daily activities like standing up, climbing stairs, and walking.
• Safety and fall prevention: Specific training to minimize risks and boost your confidence in daily life.

Fall prevention and independence

We place special emphasis on fall prevention within the program. You will learn techniques and strategies to reduce risks at home and during daily activities, helping you stay safely independent for as long as possible.

Managing chronic conditions

For those with chronic illnesses, we guide you in managing symptoms, improving endurance, and maintaining an active lifestyle.
