Physiotherapy for Alzheimer's Patients

On this episode of the podcast we do a case study about one of Sybille’s patients who has Alzheimer’s. Physiotherapy for Alzheimer’s patients must be tailored very specifically to their short term needs which is often not the case with many physiotherapy patients. This podcast gives very good insight into the techniques and approaches a physiotherapist could use while treating a patient with a condition such as Alzheimer’s.
