Because of the growing number of elderly people in the society, a more individualised healthcare system is required. As a result of the contemporary lifestyle, in which every person is engaged with their own responsibilities, retired geriatrics sometimes felt lonely, sometimes griping about the situation and other times learning to accept it as inevitable. In addition to contributing to one's overall health and well-being, regular physical activity lowers one's chance of developing a number of different illnesses. A session of physiotherapy typically lasts between 25 and 35 minutes on average. A patient might be motivated to understand their specific age-related demands by a physiotherapist who has received adequate training. The current way of life necessitates the provision of geriatrics physiotherapy in the comfort of one's own home. This case study makes an effort, via the presentation of an example, to demonstrate how geriatric physiotherapy with counselling is assisting in the achievement of functional objectives in the home without the use of cultured equipment. A 87-year-old woman's family has recommended that she begin exercising under the supervision of a trained expert in order to regain her ADLs. Functional workouts, range-of-motion drills, and liberal resistance training were all part of her therapy regimen. These were followed by a brief (10 minute) counselling session at the conclusion of her treatment plan. Before and after the Intervention, data were analysed using the Barthel Index and the Berg Balance Scale. By the end of therapy, the patient had accomplished her objectives for ADL recovery, and she had also had improvements in her balance; after three follow-up sessions, she was still functioning at the same level as before. The consequences of this case study propose that a combination of functional training and professional counselling is optimal for achieving positive outcomes.}, DOI = {} }
