Physiotherapy at Elder Care Homes Edinburgh
We are very fortunate to have physiotherapy cover here at both Chamberlain and Cluny Lodge, 5 days a week. We are supported by a team of 5 part time physios who bring various skills with them, from specialist respiratory knowledge through rehabilitation and post fracture care, to specific conditions such as Parkinson`s disease.
The team offer a variety of services, including:
One to one treatment of residents on an individual basis. This could be for long term conditions, rehabilitiation or following an acute illness, for example a fracture or stroke.
Moving and transferring assessments to help support care planning and risk assessment.
Excercise groups, both standing and seated, to ensure maximum inclusion. This also helps with Falls prevention, another area the team work on. This helps to ensure better balance and stronger bones to help prevent falls and/or help lessen the effects the fall may otherwise have.
This is just one of the team `in action` putting one lady through her paces to help support a better, more independant quality of life.
