Introduction
India is witnessing a silent demographic shift — by 2050, nearly 20% of our population will be above 60 years of age, as per the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MOSPI). Currently, there are over 140 million elderly people in India, many of whom live with multiple chronic conditions, joint pain, limited mobility, or the after-effects of falls and fractures. Alarmingly, studies show that over 50% of Indian seniors experience at least one fall a year, and nearly one-third suffer from osteoarthritis or mobility-related disorders.
At Rayara Kirana Physiotherapy & Rehab Clinic, we understand that ageing doesn’t have to mean decline. With timely geriatric physiotherapy, seniors can retain independence, reduce pain, and lead an active, fulfilling life. Our goal? To make every step in the golden years confident, pain-free, and joyful — right here in the heart of South Bangalore.
Why Geriatric Physiotherapy Matters More Today
India is home to over 140 million senior citizens, and many of them face:
- Joint stiffness, osteoarthritis
- Balance issues, dizziness, or frequent falls
- Post-fracture or surgery recovery
- Muscle weakness and fatigue
- Neurological conditions like Parkinson’s or post-stroke deficits
- Respiratory decline (especially post-COVID)
Yet, the majority of these issues are preventable or manageable — with the right kind of physiotherapy intervention.
Rayara Kirana’s Approach: Personal, Proven & Preventive
Our elder care programs are designed to:
- Prevent falls
- Rebuild lost strength
- Improve joint function
- Encourage safe mobility
- Address chronic pain
- Support overall wellness
Whether it’s a retired school teacher in Jayanagar or a grandparent recovering after a hip fracture in Banashankari, we build plans that work with the body, not against it.
Core Focus Areas in Geriatric Physiotherapy
1. Fall Prevention & Balance Training
Falls are the #1 reason for hospital admissions in elderly Indians. We work on:
- Gait correction
- Balance board exercises
- Obstacle navigation
- Proprioception retraining
- Strengthening lower limb muscles

2. Osteoarthritis and Joint Pain Management
We help seniors move pain-free with:
- Gentle joint mobilization
- Thermotherapy / cryotherapy
- Electrotherapy (TENS, ultrasound)
- Strengthening of periarticular muscles
- Daily living activity modifications
“Their arthritis program eased my father’s knee pain without injections or surgery.”

3. Post-Fracture & Post-Hospital Rehab
After fractures or prolonged hospital stays:
- Muscle reconditioning
- Range-of-motion restoration
- Safe ambulation re-training
- Breathing exercises (if bedbound)
We also teach family members how to assist at home.
4. Cognitive-Motor Integration
Ageing affects memory and reaction time. Our programs integrate:
- Coordination drills
- Light cognitive tasks + movement
- Music + memory recall activities
- Dual-task gait training
5. Pulmonary & Cardiac Rehab for Seniors
Especially important post-COVID or for patients with COPD, heart failure:
- Breathing techniques
- Chest clearance therapy
- Endurance building
- Oximeter & BP-monitored training
