Physiotherapy for Alzheimer's disease

Here at Manchester Neuro Physio we understand that a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease can be devastating. We aim to support the person and their family throughout the course of the disease by maximising quality of life and independence where possible. Physiotherapy may include:

Exercises to improve or maintain muscle strength
Exercises to maintain range of movement
Balance exercises to prevent risk of falls
Provision of mobility aids and equipment to keep people as active and safe as possible
Home assessments to advise on safety within the person's own environment and possible adaptations to maximise independence
Advice to family and carers on ways to safely handle the person
Providing a home exercise programme for the person to complete with support of their family or carers if necessary

Benefits of Physiotherapy include:

Improved muscle strength
Improved range of movement
Improved mobility
Maintenance of safety
Reduced risk of falls
Improved confidence and quality of life
Reduced carer stress
Maintenance of independence for as long as possible
