Qualified physios At Home in Mumbai
Physiotherapists play a crucial role in providing long-term support to managing individuals with dementia. Dementia is a medical condition which progresses through time. It affects the individual’s cognition, memory, and functionality. Physiotherapy addresses the functional and physical disabilities that are caused by dementia. It improves the patient’s quality of life. A physiotherapist performs the following functions
Functional Assessment
Physiotherapists examine the patient to evaluate their mobility, strength, balance and coordination to identify the patient’s weaknesses and physical impairments.
Mobility and Exercise Programs
They guide patients through their exercise regimen and ensure that the exercises prescribed in the medical care plan are implemented consistently by the assigned caregiver and nurse.
Fall Prevention
Our physiotherapists help improve the patient's balance, coordination, and walking to lower the risk of falling.
Pain Management
Physiotherapists help patients manage their pain, which is a common characteristic of dementia. They improve their comfort and well-being by relieving pain using heat, ice, electrical stimulation and pain-relieving exercises. Sometimes, dementia patients behave aggressively due to pain. Pain relief will positively impact their behaviour.

Our physiotherapists are specially trained to deal with individuals with dementia. They use creative ways like visual and verbal cues to help patients remember their instructions and exercise regime.
