Medella Home Physio & OT

💚 Today is World Mental Health Day 💚

A reminder that caring for our minds is just as important as caring for our bodies — especially in later life.

At Medella Home Physio & OT, we see first-hand how the right support can make a world of difference to emotional wellbeing. Our occupational therapists help older adults manage anxiety, memory changes, and the challenges of dementia through meaningful daily activities, gentle structure, and confidence-building routines.

Whether it’s reintroducing favourite hobbies, adapting the home to feel safer, or finding small moments of calm — occupational therapy helps restore purpose, connection, and peace of mind.
Let’s take today to check in with our loved ones and remind them they’re not alone. 🌿

🌍✨ 1 October is the International Day of Older Persons ✨🌍

Today we celebrate the wisdom, strength and love that our older generations bring into our lives every single day. 💙

At Medella, we’re passionate about helping older people stay active, independent and confident through our mobile physiotherapy and home-based therapy services.

Because aging isn’t just about the years we live — it’s about living well. 💪👵👴

Let’s use this day to:
✅ Honour our parents, grandparents and neighbours
✅ Support healthy ageing and independence
✅ Celebrate the gift of growing older

💬 Share your favourite memory or story about an older loved one in the comments — we’d love to celebrate them with you!

🌍 On World Physiotherapy Day, we recognise the power of movement.

💪 Older adults who stay active are up to 41% less likely to develop frailty.

✨ Just a little regular exercise can go a long way towards keeping us strong, steady, and independent.

🌿 The Power of Being Outdoors in Elderly Rehabilitation 🌿

Getting outside isn't just a change of scenery — it's a powerful part of recovery and wellbeing for older adults. Here's why we love taking rehab outdoors:

🌞 Physical Health Benefits:

-Encourages mobility that strengthens bones and muscles

-Sunlight boosts Vitamin D levels, supporting immunity and bone health

-Varied terrain stimulates balance, attention, and orientation

🧠 Mental & Emotional Wellbeing:

-Being in nature reduces stress and lifts mood

-Outdoor settings make exercise more enjoyable and less repetitive

-Encourages connection with the local community

-Enhances cognitive function and sense of purpose

-Whether it’s a walk in the park or gentle movement in the garden, time outside can make a world of difference.
