Senior Care Rehabilitation

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Physiotherapy for seniors is specialised physio-led rehabilitation that enables older adults to improve movement, strength, balance, and confidence. Regular exercise can build strength and prevent falls. It also helps you recover fully after joint replacement surgery or a spell in hospital where you may have lost physical condition.

  • Senior physiotherapy is great for anyone over 60 who is experiencing:

    • Trouble walking or getting around

    • Joint or muscle pain

    • Poor balance or falls

    • Recovery from surgery, such as hip or knee replacement

    • Conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis

  • Our therapists are trained to work with older adults and adjust each treatment to suit your comfort and ability. Sessions are gentle, safe, and always focused on your specific needs.

  • During the first session, the physio will ask you lots of questions that get to the bottom of your specific concerns and physical difficulties.  You will then undergo a thorough physical assessment to pick up specific problems with balance, walking and muscle weakness.  An exercise-based programme will be devised with you and practised along with any other physical treatment that may be necessary.

    Follow–up sessions start with a check-in on how you are getting on. Treatment is provided in the session with any adjustments to your graduated exercise programme.

  • Absolutely. Senior care rehabilitation can help you regain your confidence to move after a fall or surgery.  It is designed to help seniors regain physical independence and reduce the risk of further injuries or falls.

  • You do not need a referral to see us and can book directly with Vitalis Physio.

  • The number of sessions you will require depends on your goals and health conditions. It takes older people longer to build muscle, so we encourage our seniors to take a long-term view of their exercise programmes.  Initially, it is useful to have regular check-ins. As confidence and ability improve, sessions can be less frequent.  We’ll work with you to create a plan that fits your needs.

  • Getting started is easy. Contact us to book your first consultation. We’ll talk about your goals, medical history and create a personalised rehab plan for you.

  • What Our Patients Say

    ‘I cannot thank Emma-Jane enough for her professional care. I have been suffering from a persistent sciatic nerve injury and had almost lost hope until I discovered Emma-Jane’s unique approach to treatment. By combining hands on treatment, exercise, dry needling and advice, she alleviated pain and restored my mobility. The professionalism, compassion and attention to detail she demonstrated throughout my treatment were phenomenal. I am extremely happy with the results and highly recommend her services to anyone in need of expert physiotherapy care.’

    Charlie, Whitchurch

  • What our Colleagues Say

    'As a Consultant Sports Physician working closely with athletes of all levels, I have high standards when referring patients for physiotherapy.  Emma-Jane's clinical expertise in musculoskeletal assessment and rehab is exceptional.  What truly sets her apart is her ability to blend evidence-based practice with a supportive compassionate approach and excellent communication.’

  • What Our Patients Say

    I can’t recommend Emma-Jane Harding at Vitalis Physio highly enough. I have mild hip dysplasia in my right hip which became excruciatingly painful over the summer. Within just four weeks of seeing Emma, I was able to walk normally again, and I now continue to see her fortnightly as we work towards getting everything fully back to normal.

    Emma takes her profession very seriously and has an exceptional understanding of the body. Her attention to detail, focus, and the way she explains things have been phenomenal. What really makes the difference is not just seeing her, but also following the rehab she sets - it’s every bit as important as the sessions themselves.

    If you’re experiencing pain, I would wholeheartedly recommend going to see Emma-Jane. She’s been brilliant and has made a huge difference for me.

  • What Our Patients Say

    It was Emma-Jane’s expertise in hip and other conditions, together with her extensive experience that were the deciding factors in booking an appointment with her at Watlington Wellness Centre, after a painful hip had not eased after a few sessions with an osteopath (I now know I should have seen a physio!).

    I knew I was in safe, professional and thorough hands from the first appointment – Emma-Jane confirmed I had developed gluteal tendinopathy as a result of my outside hip muscles working overtime to compensate for weakness in my hip flexors, inner thigh muscles and hamstrings. She also wrote a letter for my GP requesting an X-ray. A few weeks on and my bespoke exercise plan, which she reviews and updates each session, plus soft tissue release and dry needling around my hip muscles has all made a difference and I am delighted that I am improving.

    I am so glad I found Emma-Jane and I highly recommend her.

  • What Our Patients Say

    Highly recommend Emma-Jane, I have seen various practitioners for my neck and shoulder and Emma-Jane is the only one who has made a lasting difference. She uses a combination of hands on physical therapy, medical acupuncture and exercises to produce the desired result. She is also a very kind and understanding practitioner, who takes the time to listen to problems thoroughly without rushing and explains what she is doing at every step.
