HOW OUR PHYSICAL THERAPISTS CAN HELP
Like James, many of us might feel slower and less sturdy as we age. Fortunately, our physical therapists are here to help you get back into action. We’ll start by conducting a comprehensive evaluation, including a physical examination and medical history, to understand your physical abilities and overall health. Next, we’ll design a program to address your specific needs, including: • Mobility Exercises: We’ll guide you through gentle stretches and mobility work to ease the aches in your joints and improve your overall ability to move. • Strengthening Exercises: Our therapists will teach you targeted strengthening exercises to improve your ability to react and regain your power. Strong muscles mean we can safely continue doing all the things we love. • Balance and Gait Drills: Physical therapists can teach us special exercises and drills that make us more stable so we can walk safely without worrying about falling. Our experienced therapists will help guide you to a happier and healthier life, where morning walks are a joy and playing with the grandkids is a breeze! Get the Right Guidance To Getting Older!
