The partnership highlights a shared commitment to improving the well-being and quality of life of those affected by Parkinson’s challenges in Malta.

 

Step Up for Parkinson’s recently inaugurated a centre dedicated to offering specialised care for its members. Revive, with its highly qualified team, serves as the physiotherapy arm, extending physio services to all members within a collaborative professional team. Thanks to the support of Step Up For Parkinson’s, the Revive team has undergone training by globally recognised experts from ParkinsonNET that ensures a patient-centred approach for effective assessment and management of spinal and extremity musculoskeletal disorders.

 

Marco Vella, Head of Physio at Revive Physio & Aquatic Centre, expressed: “Being part of AX Care, our team at Revive is experienced in providing treatments for various ailments affecting the elderly.

Believing strongly in the positive impact of physio and aqua therapy, our team is now better equipped to support these individuals and enhance their quality of life. We are committed to making a meaningful difference in the well-being of those dealing with Parkinson’s as well as their caregivers.”

Speaking about the benefits of this collaboration for its members, Alex Arena, Managing Director of Step Up for Parkinson’s, said: “From the outset, Step Up For Parkinson’s has made it its mission to educate the local community about the advantages of movement therapy for Parkinson’s, which include enhanced flexibility, improved balance, and heightened mood. Studies show a focus on movement and breathing can contribute significantly to a better quality of life for individuals facing Parkinson’s. This partnership with Revive broadens our treatment options, promising our members a more comprehensive approach so that they can enjoy the tangible benefits of movement therapy for an improved quality of life.”

Pool Lifesaving Course for Revive and Hospice Malta Teams: A Collaborative Effort As part of an ongoing commitment to provide the highest standards of care and safety, Revive Physio and Aquatic Therapy Centre in Naxxar recently hosted a lifesaving pool training session in collaboration with the team at Hospice Malta. This latest initiative continues to reflect Revive’s dedication towards building a stronger safer community for patients and caregivers alike. Delivered by the Red Cross, the training equipped Hospice staff members with essential skills to ensure a safe and supportive environment for their patients during hydrotherapy sessions. Revive’s own staff also participated in the course, further underlining the centre’s dedication to maintaining the highest standards of safety and excellence in patient care. This latest training session forms a natural extension of Revive’s ongoing collaboration with Hospice Malta, which began in May 2022. For the past two years, Revive has been offering complimentary access to its hydrotherapy pool for weekly one-hour sessions to Hospice patients under palliative care. These sessions provide immense physical and emotional benefits, helping patients improve mobility, alleviate discomfort, and find moments of relaxation during challenging times. “At Revive, we are fortunate to have a purpose-built and designed hydrotherapy pool, , with safe access for individuals with limited mobility,” says Marco Attard Vella, Head of Physiotherapy at Revive. “We take pride in providing state-of-the-art facilities for our clients and are equally committed to finding new ways to ensure our resources can benefit those who need them most. Revive is proud to play an active role to the Hospice Malta community, offering care, compassion, and expertise to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.” Beyond this direct collaboration, AX Group is continuing to support Hospice Malta through various other initiatives, including its Pink October and Movember campaigns. These efforts see AX Group teams raising funds to help Hospice Malta and other worthy causes so they can sustain essential services for patients and families across the country.

Revive Physiotherapy & Aquatic Centre Launches Falls Prevention Program for Older Adults Revive Physio Centre is pleased to announce the launch of its new Falls Prevention Program, a focussed initiative to support the health, safety, and independence of older adults. This programme, which will be held weekly on Wednesdays at the physio centre in Naxxar, is designed to equip seniors with practical strategies and guidance to reduce fall risks, stay active, and maintain confidence in their mobility. The program was officially launched on November 13th in a special event at Revive’s courtyard, bringing together attendees for an insightful presentation on the benefits of exercise and physiotherapy, especially tailored for older adults. The event was led by Marco Attard Vella, Head of Physiotherapy at Revive, who emphasised the critical role regular exercise plays in enhancing balance, strength, and overall physical health. Attendees also took part in a live demonstration, followed by a Q&A session where they could learn more about falls prevention and the specifics of the new programme. “Falls are a significant concern for older adults, and the right preventive measures can make a huge difference,” says Marco Attard Vella. “Our goal with this new programme is to empower individuals and to enhance their quality of life”. The program is built on proven exercises that address four key areas, including strength maintenance, balance and coordination, cardiovascular health, and mental wellness. We are confident about the positive impact this new program will have on our participants, and we look forward to helping more people take charge of their health.” Falls are a leading health concern for older adults, with approximately one in three individuals aged 65 and older experiencing a fall each year. Such falls are the primary cause of injury-related hospitalisations, leading to loss of independence, financial strain, and considerable emotional distress. Through structured and consistent education and physiotherapy, many of these falls can be prevented, giving older adults the strength, balance, and confidence they need to maintain their quality of life. The launch of the Falls Prevention Program is testament towards Revive’s commitment to expand its service offerings and towards providing meaningful, proactive solutions to the community. The program’s weekly classes will be held on Wednesdays within Revive’s purposely built rehabilitation gym.
