Physiotherapy for Dementia Patients
Compassionate, Structured, and Safe Physiotherapy at Home for Individuals Living with Dementia
At Positive Physiotherapy, we provide specialised physiotherapy for dementia patients designed to enhance quality of life, maintain physical function, and support independence for individuals living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.
Our gentle, structured approach helps clients engage in familiar and meaningful movements in a supportive, stress-free environment. By providing therapy in the home or care setting, we reduce confusion, encourage consistency, and promote emotional well-being.
Why Choose Physiotherapy for Dementia at Home?
People with dementia benefit most from routines and familiar surroundings. Home-based physiotherapy allows us to deliver targeted rehabilitation in a calm, predictable environment where the client feels safe. Our therapists are trained to adapt exercises to match cognitive abilities and respond empathetically to emotional and behavioural changes.
Our Dementia Physiotherapy Services Include:
- Gentle mobility and balance exercises tailored to cognitive capacity
- Functional training for safe transfers, walking, and daily activities
- Fall prevention strategies for confused or unsteady clients
- Activities that promote memory, engagement, and participation
- Collaboration with carers and family to support consistency
- Education and reassurance for family members
