Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology for Dementia

Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology offer significant benefits for individuals with dementia, addressing both physical and cognitive aspects of the condition. These therapeutic disciplines emphasize structured physical activities tailored to enhance overall well-being and slow cognitive decline.

Physiotherapy focuses on improving mobility, strength, and balance. Regular physical therapy can reduce the risk of falls, a common concern in dementia patients, thereby promoting independence and enhancing quality of life. Additionally, physiotherapy can alleviate pain and discomfort from other coexisting conditions, improving overall physical health.

Exercise physiology, integrates physical activity with scientific principles to optimise health outcomes. Regular exercise has been shown to boost brain function by enhancing blood flow to the brain and stimulating the growth of new neural connections. It can also mitigate symptoms of depression and anxiety, common in dementia, through the release of endorphins and other mood-regulating chemicals.

Combining these disciplines provides a holistic approach to dementia care. Structured exercise routines tailored by professionals can slow the progression of cognitive decline, improve mood, and enhance daily living activities. Overall, physiotherapy and exercise physiology are crucial in managing dementia, offering a non-pharmacological approach to improving life quality and fostering a sense of independence for those affected by the condition.

Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy, a specialised form of physiotherapy, it uses the therapeutic properties of water to address various physical conditions. This innovative approach harnesses water's buoyancy and resistance to aid in the rehabilitation and management of injuries. 

In hydrotherapy, patients perform exercises in a heated pool, which promotes relaxation, eases muscle tension, and increases circulation. The reduced impact on joints due to buoyancy makes it ideal for conditions like arthritis, back pain, and post-surgical recovery. Additionally, the resistance of water provides a gentle way to improve strength and flexibility.

Hydrotherapy offers a wide range of benefits. It enhances cardiovascular fitness, reduces pain, and promotes overall well-being. The warm water can help soothe sore muscles and alleviate discomfort, while the controlled environment allows physiotherapists to tailor exercises to individual needs.

We have a Physioptherapist available at Bayswater Waves on Fridays and services at other pools are available on request. Call 0477 934 546 today to book your initial hydrotherapy assessment.

Osteoarthritis and Exercise

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease affecting the joints of the body, especially the hips, knees, spine and hands.  The symptoms of OA are usually pain and difficulty moving the joint. Because of this, people living with OA can tend to avoid activity leading to weaker muscles and joint instability as well as other health problems linked to being sedentary.  Although OA is often described as resulting from wear and tear, inflammation of the joint is involved and people often experience flare-ups together with periods of reduced symptoms.

It may seem strange that exercising a painful joint can help, but exercise has been shown to actually improve joint health as well as reducing pain.  We know that exercise helps to strengthen the muscles which support and stabilise the joint.  Exercise can also help to improve joint movement and flexibility, making it easier to carry out daily tasks.  There are many different types of exercise which are appropriate for people living with OA including tai chi, water exercise, resistance or aerobic training.  The best exercise to do is one that you enjoy and that fits in with your daily life.

Our team of Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists can work with you to develop an exercise program that is suited to your particular needs and preferences. 

Call 0477 934 546 today to talk to our friendly team.

Falls prevention

With ageing falls and the fear of falling start to impact on the way the elderly live their lives. In fact 1 in 4 people over 60 years of age will experience a fall each year. The consequences of this can be hip fractures, head injuries, hospital admissions and lead to a loss of independence.

There are many reasons why the risk of falls increase as you age, including decreased strength and proprioception, slowing reflexes and saving ability, increased medications and declining eyesight, as well as external factors such as home environment and footwear.

Physiotherapists are trained to assess all areas that may lead to falls. At Future Physio our specialist home visit team can individually address factors to help you reduce your risk of falls. We are trained in walking aid presciption, exercise and balance training and can develop a program that specifically meets your needs.

Our therapists can work with you on a regular basis to increase your strength and balance or prescribe a program for you to complete in the comfort of your own home.

If you are concerned about yourself of a family member and their risk of falling, get in touch today to chat to one of our friendly team members.
