What's Private Physiotherapy?

Private physiotherapy is like normal physiotherapy; the only difference is the client works one-on-one with the therapist rather than doing so in a group setting. The objective remains the same: aiding the client in finding relief from pain or discomfort resulting from a severe injury or chronic illness.

When to See a Physiotherapist as a Senior

There are certain warning signs that you or a loved one may need to seek the attention of a physiotherapist. Some of these include:

You're struggling to perform simple daily tasks
Your joints are in pain for an extended period of time and haven't improved
You're finding it hard to recover from a long-term injury or disability
You want to get in shape but don't know how to
You're falling over unexpectedly like never before
You're struggling with vertigo
Your muscles throughout your body are weak

How to Get Started as a Senior With Our Private Physiotherapy Services in Your Long-Term Care & Retirement Home

If you’ve decided as a senior that you want to book a session with a private physiotherapist in your long-term care and retirement home, you should contact Get Right Physio immediately.

You can book a private consultation with one of our physiotherapists, who will have a chat with you to learn more about why you want to start physiotherapy. Additionally, they’ll ask you some questions about where the long-term care or retirement home is situated so they can craft your rehabilitation plan accordingly.

As soon as you’ve provided all the necessary information, your physiotherapist will book you in for a session within 24 to 48 hours so you both can start paving your way to recovery together.

You can book as many appointments as you like with your physiotherapist; there’s no set limit on the number of sessions you take, whether you want to see them once a month or twice a week. It’s important as a senior to take things slower to make sure you recover properly. The therapist will be able to give you guidance on how many sessions you should be taking at the start based on your condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Is Private Physiotherapy Different for Seniors in Long-Term Care and Retirement Homes Compared to Other Settings?

Overall, we offer private physio in three settings: long-term care & retirement homes, houses & condos, and hospitals.

Compared to the other two options, seniors benefit from our long-term care and retirement home physio services because they can be incorporated into the daily plan set by their nurses and fall in line with their routine. For example, say there was a change in dinner time at the care facility, resulting in one of your session times changing; the nurse could contact your physiotherapist to rearrange the class for you.

Is Private Physiotherapy Only Suitable for Seniors Who Are Physically Fit or Those Who Are Bedridden, Too?

We don’t have any restrictions on who can book a physio session with us. For each of our clients, we create a specific systematic plan to better the person’s condition, improve their health and provide them with the effective pain relief they need.

How Long Is Each Physio Session for Seniors?

Our sessions with clients are usually always 60-minutes, but on a case-by-case basis, we can adjust accordingly as we’ve found that 60-minutes is a good window of time. This includes time for both the therapist & client to continue to build rapport, for the therapist to provide education, treatment & go through any exercises.
