Geriatric Rehabilitation
Staying strong, steady, and independent matters at every age. Gentle, targeted physical therapy with Urvashi Barbhaya, RPT, OCS, helps older adults move with confidence and stay doing the things they love.
How we help older adults
As we age, strength, balance, and mobility can quietly decline, and small setbacks can affect independence. Geriatric physical therapy meets those changes head-on with care tuned to your ability. Common goals include:
- Improving balance and reducing the risk of falls
- Rebuilding strength after illness, surgery, or a hospital stay
- Managing arthritis and joint pain
- Staying mobile and confident with everyday tasks
- Recovering walking ability and endurance
- Keeping independence at home for longer
A gentle, personalized approach
Exercises are matched to your current ability and progressed carefully and safely. Care often blends strength and balance work with hands-on treatment and simple home strategies you can keep up with. The pace is yours.
What to expect
Your first visit includes an assessment of strength, balance, and mobility, and the start of a plan tailored to your goals. Family members are welcome, and home-safety suggestions can be part of your care.
