Our Compassionate Approach to Dementia Care
Physiotherapy for dementia focuses on what a person can do. Our approach is gentle, patient, and tailored to the individual’s cognitive ability. We use simple, clear instructions and repetitive exercises that can be incorporated into daily routines, all within a familiar and reassuring environment.
A crucial part of our service involves working closely with family members and carers. We provide education and strategies to help you create a safe home environment and support your loved one’s physical activity.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can physio help if the main problem is memory?
By focusing on physical function, we can improve safety and maintain independence for longer. This reduces the risk of falls and hospital admissions, which in turn reduces stress and enhances the overall quality of life for both the person with dementia and their family.
What makes physiotherapy for dementia different?
It’s less about complex new exercises and more about adapting activities to the person’s abilities. We use simple cues, repetition, and often incorporate music or familiar tasks to make sessions engaging and effective.
Do you involve family or carers in the sessions?
Absolutely. Family and carer involvement is key. We provide training and support so you can confidently encourage movement and continue with simple exercises between our visits.
