How Does Our Geriatric Physiotherapy in Delhi Best?
At our Delhi-based center, we offer comprehensive geriatric services.
Our goal is to provide functional independence to elder ones because many elders in India are suffering from acute to chronic illnesses which lead to the loss of day-to-day function.
Our geriatric rehabilitation works on three areas-

- Cardiovascular issues like stroke and breathing problem
- Skeletal problems like osteoarthritis and surgeries of hip or joints
Our trained physiotherapists make elderly people lifestyle easy with exercises for endurance and strength of muscles so that they can lift a jug, make a bed and wash their clothes.
