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.

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.
