Geriatric Physiotherapy in Surrey

Physiotherapy for older adults can support safer movement, confidence, strength, balance, and independence. At WellCare Physiotherapy & Rehab in Surrey, we provide patient-focused geriatric physiotherapy for older adults and families who want practical support with mobility, joint stiffness, walking, stairs, transfers, and day-to-day function.

Who this service helps

Geriatric physiotherapy may be helpful for older adults who are noticing reduced balance, stiffness, weakness, difficulty walking, hesitation on stairs, reduced confidence after a fall, or changes in independence. Care can also support people who want a guided home exercise plan, help returning to daily routines, or physiotherapy after a period of reduced activity.

Assessment and treatment approach

Your first visit begins with a careful assessment of movement, strength, balance, mobility, symptoms, goals, and daily demands. Treatment may include gentle mobility work, progressive strengthening, balance exercises, walking practice, education, and a home program that fits your comfort and ability. The plan is adjusted based on your response and your goals.

Common goals

Improve balance and walking confidence
Build strength for daily activities
Reduce fall risk where possible
Support safer stairs, transfers, and mobility
Manage joint stiffness and movement limitations
Maintain independence with a practical home plan

What to expect

Appointments are paced around your needs. Your physiotherapist will explain the assessment findings, help you understand the plan, and progress exercises gradually. Family members or caregivers can be involved when helpful.
