Abstract Geriatric patients frequently face challenges such as reduced mobility, balance impairments, and chronic pain, which have a substantial impact on their independence and overall well-being. Physical therapy has been recognized as a crucial component in managing these issues. Despite its acknowledged benefits, the specific association between demographic profile and functional mobility to the quality of life in geriatric populations requires further empirical exploration. This study aimed to provide a more profound knowledge of how physical therapy can enhance the well-being of geriatric patients. The study utilized descriptive-correlational design to determine and analyze the relationship between physical therapy intervention and the functional mobility and quality of life of geriatric patients with any disorders. Twenty-four geriatric patients who participated were given a questionnaire that consisted of general information and standardized (Short Form Survey Questionnaire (SF-36) and Functional Independence Measure (FIM). Results of the study showed a strong statistical relationship between physical functioning and functional mobility (p=0.008), age of participants and physical functioning (p=0.004), sex and energy/fatigue (p=0.024), sex and emotional well-being (p=0.024), and age of participants and functional mobility (p=0.014). The rest of the variables did not have an association with each other. The study recommends having a larger sample size, adopt a consistent instrument strategy, focus on geriatric patients with the same disease, and utilize experimental research design for future research.
