It is particularly true about Saudi Arabia in the midst of its growing elderly population as a subset of geriatric medicine. It is predicted that by 2050, citizens over 60 years of age will be more than 10 million, therefore requiring an integrated strategy related to geriatric health. Physiotherapists are very important in dealing with various physical, psychological, and social issues faced at such ages, including loss of mobility, chronic diseases, and falls. This review aims at assessing the evidence related to the role of physiotherapy in the management of age-related conditions and outlining strategies that can help optimize geriatric care in the Saudi Arabian healthcare system.
