Dementia doesn’t only affect memory—it can also impact mobility, balance, and the ability to perform daily tasks. While there’s no cure, physiotherapy offers vital support in improving the quality of life for people living with dementia, helping them maintain independence, reduce falls, and stay active.

Our physiotherapists work closely with individuals, caregivers, and families to create personalized programs that consider physical, cognitive, and emotional needs. This approach ensures that therapy is both safe and effective, even as dementia progresses.

Physiotherapy empowers people with dementia to move more confidently, remain engaged in daily activities, and experience a greater sense of autonomy.

Common challenges like reduced strength, poor posture, stiffness, and fear of falling can be addressed with gentle, guided exercises tailored to each stage of dementia. Therapists also help manage pain, which may otherwise go unexpressed or unnoticed in non-verbal individuals.

Key Benefits of Physiotherapy for Dementia

We understand the importance of a calm, compassionate approach when working with dementia patients. That’s why our physiotherapists use familiar routines, visual cues, and gentle communication strategies to ensure each session is positive and productive.
