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.

Enhancing Heart Health: The Role of Cardiac Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy

Cardiac rehabilitation, coupled with the expertise of physiotherapy and exercise physiology, presents a formidable alliance in promoting cardiovascular health and recovery.

Following a cardiac event or surgery, individuals often face a daunting road to recovery, laden with uncertainties and challenges. However, through structured rehabilitation programs, tailored exercises, and specialized care, patients can regain strength, improve endurance, and enhance overall well-being.

Physiotherapy plays a pivotal role in cardiac rehabilitation by designing personalised exercise regimens that cater to individual needs and medical conditions. These exercises not only strengthen the heart but also address associated issues such as muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and respiratory limitations. Furthermore, physiotherapists educate patients on lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, and safe physical activity practices, empowering them to take control of their health.

Moreover, Exercise Physiologists bring a scientific approach to cardiac rehabilitation, employing principles of exercise science to optimize cardiovascular function. By conducting comprehensive assessments, they devise exercise prescriptions that optimize cardiovascular fitness while ensuring safety and efficacy. Through continuous monitoring and adjustment, exercise physiologists guide patients towards achieving their health goals and minimising the risk of future cardiac events.

Our mobile team can come to you and design programs in the comfort of your own home. Call Future Physio today on 0477 934 546 to optimise your heart health

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.

Falls prevention

As we age falls prevention is crucial in staying healthy in our later years. At least one in four older people have a fall each year and around 10% of all falls result in serious injury requiring hospitalisation. Injuries sustained can include bruising, lacerations, fractures and head injuries.

Falls can be caused by a number of factors including; loss of balance, dizziness, poor eyesight, poor footwear or trip hazards. Poor hydration, alcohol consumption or taking more than five medications can also contribute to falling.

Physiotherapists can tailor exercise programs specifically for each client to improve their leg strength, mobility and balance. Regular exercise is a great way to help prevent falls at home and in the community. Get started today to maintain your independence at home by calling 0477 934 546
