PHYSIOTHERAPY
Physiotherapy services are available for all residents at Braemar, if needed and services are provided as assessed by the Physiotherapist. Our Physiotherapy team includes a Registered Physiotherapist who is here once a week and he oversees a Physiotherapy Assistant who is here 4 days a week. The Physiotherapy Assistant runs a daily Sit and Get Fit exercise class from Monday to Friday, as well as alternating Strength and Balance Classes from Monday to Friday. Individualized programs are created for residents receiving physiotherapy which consist of range of motion exercises, ambulation training, strength training, dynamic balance training and activities of daily living. Physiotherapy exercises can help to enhance quality of life within the home.
