Senior Physiotherapy at Home | Fall Prevention & Rehab

---

As we age, it’s normal to experience:

• Muscle weakness
   
• Balance issues
   
• Joint stiffness
   
• Fear of falling
   
• Reduced endurance
   

But these don’t have to define your independence. With in-home physiotherapy, you or your loved one can regain strength, improve mobility, and feel safer at home—without the need to travel to a clinic.

🏡 Why Seniors Benefit from At-Home Physio

Seniors often face barriers to attending outpatient physio. That’s why we come to you.

Whether you're recovering from surgery, preventing falls, or maintaining your independence—we bring professional care right to your living room.

Our programs are gentle, personalized, and focused on real-life function:

• ✅ Balance training (to prevent falls)
   
• ✅ Strength building (legs, core, posture)
   
• ✅ Safe transfer training (bed, toilet, stairs)
   
• ✅ Pain relief techniques (arthritis, back pain)
   
• ✅ Walking & mobility drills
   
• ✅ Customized home exercise plans
   

“After a hip fracture and long hospital stay, I felt stuck. Nico helped me step by step. First around the house, then outside. Now I walk to the coffee shop alone. I got my life back.”
— John M., 84, North Vancouver
 

John’s plan focused on fall prevention, sit-to-stand transfers, stair practice, and daily walking drills. He went from using a walker to walking independently within 2 months.

• According to Cochrane Reviews, home-based balance programs reduce fall risk by 31% in older adults.
   
• A 2021 Canadian Geriatrics Society study found that strength + mobility training in the home improved ADLs (activities of daily living) by up to 40%.
   
• Studies show family involvement in rehab improves adherence and confidence in older adults.
   

We assess and optimize your home to make it safer, including:

• Bathroom modifications (grab bars, shower benches)
   
• Removing tripping hazards (rugs, cords)
   
• Improving lighting and furniture layout
   
• Training for safe use of walkers, canes or poles
   

We work with families and care teams across:

• North Vancouver (Lonsdale, Lynn Valley, Deep Cove)
   
• West Vancouver (Ambleside, Dundarave, Horseshoe Bay)
   
• Burnaby, Vancouver downtown and beyond by request
   

We collaborate with:

• Occupational Therapists (OTs)
