Physiotherapy plays a key role in the Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) in adult services.
Therapy programmes focus in on promoting independence, strengthening, fall prevention, safety and providing specialist supports as needed.
As an individual ages levels of physical activity can decrease, this can have a knock on effect on their independence, the level of assistance needed for basic day to day activities.
Physio’s focus on maintaining activity levels to ensure no loss of independence and safe mobility.
Specialist Services for Adults
Once a month the Physiotherapy Department manages an orthotic clinic, at which, we work closely with a team of clinical specialist orthotists from APOS in the assessment, supply and monitoring of a range of orthotics for the adults who attend St. Joseph’s Foundation.
