What is Geriatric Physiotherapy?
As we grow older, our bodies go through diverse types of changes. We might experience new conditions as we age, limiting our mobility, body functions, and overall health. And that is why Geriatric Physiotherapy was developed: to address those and many other age-related conditions.
The most common issues treated through Geriatric Physiotherapy are osteoporosis, arthritis, joint replacement, balance and gait disorders, and incontinence. Some other severe conditions are Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, and other neurological disorders.

Benefits of Geriatric Physiotherapy
Safe Exercise
Exercising is important for anyone but can be risky for seniors and older adults, especially if you already have a condition. Physio is the best way to work out carefully with directions with the help of a professional physiotherapist.
Build Strength & Stability
If you are a senior, avoiding slips and falls is essential. And Physiotherapy can help you prevent them by building the strength and stability you need.
Eliminate Pain
We know that inactivity can cause a lot of tightness, spreading to the neck, back, and other joints. And to get rid of pain and get your muscles strong again, Physiotherapy is crucial for older adults.
Boost Mental Health
Exercise can improve your mental health. By releasing endorphins, you can reduce anxiety and other signs of depression, regardless of your age.
Pre and Post Surgery
Physiotherapy can help you avoid surgeries, though sometimes it’s unavoidable. And to ensure that you’re prepared to recover faster, you can do treatments before and after them.
Vital Benefits
Getting out of a wheelchair, having social interactions, moving without limitations, and enjoying your family, Geriatric Physiotherapy can help you to make it possible again.

Sharon Cragg
I discovered Dr John Igbiki last summer and he treated me for accident trauma, whiplash, back and hip pain. Sciatica joint out of place. Through physio, Chiro, acupuncture, massage I went into recovery. I strongly recommend this clinic situated in 20-217 Hawks brow Dr NW Calgary.
Rylan Rooke
I was so impressed on my first appointment the doctor was very friendly and so informative! I have been to quite a few physiotherapist office’s this office is by far the very best and I have no doubt in my mind they can help everyone I look forward to feeling better thank you for everything!
Amy Jensen
So so happy!! I suffered with a leg injury for 6 months hoping it would get better on its own, but of course it didn’t. I wish I’d come to physio here sooner!! Now, just a few weeks after my first visit, I did a full hike up a mountain which I never could have done even 6 weeks ago. Thank you Dr Igbiki!!
DJ Toxic
When I first got injured, the most painful thing I could've done was putting my socks on and walking. I remembered my first visit to this clinic, I was in so much pain I cried. After I got done with first session I was able to walk out on my own. I highly highly recommend this clinic.
Barry
Leah is the light in that office! Although wearing a mask you can see her smile and very friendly as well. John is a life saver! He put alot of time in making sure that I'm me again. Thank you John. If anyone is looking for a good physiotherapist, look no further this is it.
