Manchester Physio

At Manchester Physio we provide assessment and physiotherapy treatment for elderly individuals. Our physiotherapists commonly help elderly individuals with problems such as reduced mobility, poor balance, muscle weakness, and decreased independence. Physiotherapy treatment will improve your muscle strength and balance and improve your quality of life and independence with activities of daily living. We also work alongside your family and or carers to enable you to reach your maximum potential. Our motivated physiotherapists at Manchester Physio will identify any areas of difficulty you are having within every day activities, such as walking, getting in and out of bed, on or off the toilet or chair.
