Why Physiotherapy for Older Adults Matters
Many senior individuals face mobility issues due to getting older, accidents, ongoing health issues, or reduced activity after hospitalisation. These challenges can make daily tasks harder and affect day-to-day independence.
Adults of any age in Shirley who find it hard to manage movement may see improvements through our physiotherapy sessions. Physiotherapy can enhance your ability to carry out daily activities as you increase physical strength, range of motion, balance and coordination.
My mobile physiotherapy service across Shirley and nearby areas such as Shirley is tailored to help seniors stay active and independent in familiar surroundings.

EXCELLENT Based on 42 reviews Posted on Cathy ClinkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having recently been diagnosed with Parkinson's, Richard visited my home and I was delighted with the help he gave me with exercises - I feel better already and tomorrow plan to go to his class in Dorridge!Posted on Ian ThomsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Richard is a highly competent, skilled physiotherapist. He has a pleasant easy going nature and can get the best out of people who use his serivices. Hazel is an 82 year old lady who has a condition called myositis. This complaint ia caused by the imuno system attacking the body's muscles severely weakening them. When Richard first met Hazel she was bed bound and could not sit unaided on the edge of the bed. After 5 months of exercises and encouragement by Richard she is now able to walk, with the aid of a zimmer frame, get out of bed unaided, get in and out of a car, climb down the step out of the house and wash and dress herself. Hazel is proof that Richard is an excellent choice for any elderly person who needs phisiotherapy. Hazel and her husband would both highly recommend Richard to anyone, but particulalrly the eldely, needing physiotherapy.Posted on Maureen HillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stride Physiotherapy Solihull have helped me to recover following a period of illness with regular exercise support and advice.Posted on Cheryll JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When my daughter suggested that my husband and I should contact Richard for physiotherapy I was a little apprehensive. We are both 74 I have an arthritic knee and my husband has strength and stability issues following an operation. When we met Richard my worries were dispelled. He spent time listening and understanding us in order to provide appropriate exercises in his own encouraging but firm way to improve our conditions. I would heartily recommend him.Posted on Neil JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Richard has been helping my 85yo Mum with her mobility, she cannot sing his praises highly enough. He's also bee liaising with myself and my brother to keep us informed. Highly recommended.Posted on Geoffrey BerryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stride Physiotherapy has provided an excellent pathway for my recovery programme from a difficult femur fracture . The service is friendly but firm and also supported by new technology developed in-house. The support given is clearly based on a wealth of experience in the health and fitness sector.Posted on ClareTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Richard has achieved more than we'd ever hoped with our elderly parents. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional yet friendly. He has helped them develop their balance and strength and instilled confidence to the extent that mum and dad have gone from being almost house bound to being able to go out for walks independently. They really look forward to Richard's visits and love doing the exercises he suggests. We would genuinely recommend Richard.Posted on mick BrennanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Richard has provided excellent therapy for my elderly mother who is awaiting knee replacement surgery. Having been very immobile, Richard delivered 3 invaluable consultations resulting in her walking confidently with a frame, using the stairs and even being able to get out to the garden. This has not only provided a much needed improvement with her mobility but also helped ensure she will be better placed for post-operative recovery in due course. Would thoroughly recommend Richard for elderly patients.Posted on Shabana ZafarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Richard is very professional, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The sessions are always productive. From day one he made me and my mum feel comfortable and took the time to understand what was going on with our injuries. The treatment Richard gives is clear, easy to follow and is actually working. I couldn’t be happier with the care I have received. If you’re looking for someone who knows their stuff and genuinely cares, I would highly recommend Richard. Really grateful for the help and support throughout my recovery.Posted on PamelaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Richard is the kindest person - who inspires you.
