Patient Resources
Extended bed rest or hospitalization can cause elderly patients to lose strength, stamina, and balance quickly, a condition called deconditioning. Physiotherapy helps rebuild strength gradually so seniors can safely return to their normal routine.
When to see a physiotherapist: Contact a doctor if weakness persists beyond a few weeks after discharge, or if there is dizziness, chest discomfort, or falls during recovery.
