Have you imagined moving freely and confidently as you age? Our geriatric physiotherapy delivers science-led treatment, tailored to restore movement, ease pain, and help you enjoy active independence—starting with your first visit.
Pain, stiffness, and the slow loss of confidence often turn simple acts—climbing stairs, walking outdoors, lifting groceries—into daily battles. These subtle limitations rarely exist in isolation; pain lingers, sleep falters, fatigue builds, and the fear of falls quietly restricts your world.
Geriatric physiotherapy transforms this cycle by directly targeting root causes. Our approach is not about masking pain, but redefining how your body moves, compensates, and heals. This begins by blending symptom relief with the restoration of normal movement patterns. We identify silent dysfunctions—immobile joints, deconditioned muscles, restricted fascia—then use evidence-based strategies to address each culprit head-on.
You’ll experience hands-on techniques to mobilize joints and loosen scarred soft tissues, paired with movement retraining that rewires coordination and builds long-forgotten strength. Biomechanics assessments uncover subtle imbalances, while regular progress evaluation ensures treatment evolves with your changing needs. This is not a one-off session, but a relentlessly adaptive process co-created with you.
Restoring robust movement requires expertise, versatility, and a commitment to clinical excellence. We address the spectrum of pain, injury, and age-related decline through a broad set of specialized disciplines.

No two recoveries are alike. At Crawley Physio, personalization drives every session—from initial assessment to final milestone. Each plan reflects your diagnosis, lifestyle demands, activity level, age, and the unique ways you experience pain or limitation.
We co-create your recovery goals, ensuring every intervention aligns with what matters most in your daily life. Progress isn’t just measured by exercises completed, but by milestones that are meaningful to you—whether it’s a walk to the shops, dancing at celebrations, or simply standing tall with balance.
Explore personalized pathways for joint pain, post-surgical recovery, chronic balance issues, arthritis, stroke rehab, frailty support, and tailored wellness optimization. Every path is mapped with you—not for you—so your goals define your journey.
Each treatment at Crawley Physio Clinic is a bespoke blend of experience, science, and responsive care. No two appointments are the same—our approach evolves with every milestone, win, or challenge.
You benefit from expert selection of the most effective therapies at every stage:
The integration of these methods ensures progress from each visit builds upon the last—raising not just physical capacity, but confidence in every aspect of your movement.
Aging bodies rarely face singular diagnoses. Our broad clinical repertoire meets you at every pain point or setback, building paths to recovery no matter the challenge.
We treat:
Explore linked categories for your symptoms or diagnosis—the recovery journey is always customized, guiding you toward solutions as individual as you are.
Starting therapy is simple. You can be referred by your GP through the NHS system, or access care directly if you’re insured with BUPA, AXA, AVIVA, Vitality, WPA, or Cigna. Our support team handles the paperwork, pre-authorizations, and transition of your care so you can focus on getting better, not battling confusion.
You shouldn’t have to wait until you’re immobile to get help. Our team tackles a range of symptoms that often creep up, then suddenly restrict your life:
Every outcome moves you toward a stronger, freer future:
Notice less pain and more confidence with each session. Your body regains strength, balance, and protective reflexes. Each new ability—walking further, rising from a chair with ease, sleeping without pain—is proof of real progress.
No matter your starting point, gains build week by week. For every pain prevented, a new possibility opens.
NICE guidelines and national physiotherapy bodies repeatedly confirm: multi-modal, age-adaptive therapy leads to better, longer-lasting results than passive waiting.
Discover expert physiotherapy services tailored to your unique needs. From pain relief to improved mobility, our dedicated team is here to help.
Delivering breakthrough results requires both knowledge and discipline. Our clinical processes are rigorous, logical, and personalized at every turn.
Thorough evaluation combines your story, medical background, movement analysis, and real-time testing to uncover hidden barriers.
We design your plan with the best fit treatments—not guesswork—matching interventions to your tissue type, diagnosis, and response patterns.
You’re never left adrift. Together, we set milestones, review progress, and recalibrate so you always understand the next step.
Your gains are protected post-discharge with self-management tools, relapse prevention, and ongoing out-of-clinic support.
We don’t just aim to reduce pain today—we work to build lifelong comfort and resilience. That requires shifting the focus from temporary wins to habits that continue to pay off long after you leave our doors.
Sustainable results hinge on repeatable, safe movement and daily confidence. Our protocols guide you to:
We see our job as building your toolbox for the future, not just opening the medicine cabinet for now.
Still deciding if this is your answer? Consider:
Does discomfort linger despite home remedies, GP advice, or general exercises?
Has your daily life grown restricted—struggling with stairs, rising from chairs, or walking outdoors?
Are you seeking a truly customized, hands-on treatment you can help shape—rather than being handed a routine you must endure?
Our reputation is built on relentless commitment to moving every client forward—never treating pain in isolation, but as a signal for lasting change.
You’re supported by clinicians with years in NHS, private, and research-based rehabilitation, not simply paper qualifications.
Our treatment decisions are benchmarked against leading research, not local custom or old-school tradition.
You progress along the path you help plot, not on a conveyor belt.
Tools to continue success—because relapse prevention is as important as fast wins.
Our expert physiotherapists are here to help you relieve pain, restore mobility, and achieve your wellness goals. Start your journey with us today!

Following your first session, it’s common to experience a blend of relief, newfound mobility, and sometimes mild muscle soreness. Each body reacts differently depending on the intensity of restriction, tissue health, and how long a problem has persisted. For many, there is an immediate but subtle sense of greater ease; for others, muscles that haven’t moved this way in years signal their surprise through gentle aches, typically lasting a day or two.
Healing is rarely a straight line—your body responds in dialogue, not commands.
Continue gentle activity—avoid bed rest. Hydrate well, perform any prescribed home exercises, and pay attention to your body’s feedback. If in doubt, a call or message to your physiotherapist trims uncertainty and tailors advice.
Progress takes shape faster with commitment and realistic expectations. For many, relief in pain or improvement in movement occurs a few sessions in; for others, cumulative change builds gradually but unmistakably, often marked by better sleep, increased activity, or a subtle boost in mood and confidence as movement grows safer and less anxious.
Keep an eye on new or improved abilities like standing from soft chairs, walking longer distances, tackling stairs with less hesitation, or sleeping through the night. These incremental changes signal genuine progress, not just symptom masking.
Standardised routines often fall short for older adults because aging bodies present a tapestry of conditions—arthritis, balance issues, heart disease, past surgeries—that shift daily and interact in unpredictable ways. Personalisation isn’t a feature; it’s the linchpin that transforms trial-and-error into strategic, safe, and motivating care.
Therapy works best when it’s co-created. Recovery goals aligned with your daily ambitions—whether that means gardening, lifting grandchildren, or managing the stairs solo—build intrinsic motivation and higher adherence to exercises. Ongoing therapist feedback fuels emotional safety, addressing frustration and fear of re-injury before they balloon.
Patients equipped with a tailored regimen, clear “early warning” signs, and specific home instructions take charge of their recovery. Empowerment comes from being seen and actively involved, not simply directed.
