Physical Therapy Helps Prevent Loss of Mobility
Do you feel unsteady when you are walking? Have you noticed it’s a little harder getting up out of a chair? As we get older, changes to our body are typical, but that doesn’t mean we should lose our mobility too. At Liberty Rehab, our physical therapists can work with you to make sure you stay mobile, stay safe and stay active! Mobility limitations increase as we age, and our bodies change differently. Some of us may lose muscle mass and strength. Others may experience joint aches and pains or balance and gait problems. Fortunately, there are things you can do to minimize these losses and even reverse them so you can stay active and safe. Living with physical restrictions can cause a loss in the sense of independence, which takes a toll on mental and emotional health. If you’re experiencing
an issue with your mobility or have noticed that many things are difficult for you to do on your own, know that help is available. At Liberty Rehab, our physical therapists are dedicated to helping you maintain as much independence as possible through individualized treatment plans. Request an appointment today to learn how to help you keep living the kind of life you want without mobility restrictions.
