DISCOVER HOW PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP COMMON HEALTH RISKS IN PEOPLE OVER 60
Are you worried about how getting older is affecting your health? Have you put off taking care of yourself and now find your aches and pains seem to be limiting what you can do? At Restore Physical Therapy, our physical therapists can address your overall health and guide you back to feeling good again! As we age, our bodies become more susceptible to certain health risks, causing us to slow down and risk additional problems. We begin to notice the wear and tear that has developed throughout the years is limiting more and more of our everyday activities. Age brings a higher risk of chronic diseases such as dementia, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, and cancer. In adults 60 and older, these chronic conditions lead to serious illness, disability, and death. Luckily, physical therapy can help improve some of the health conditions that your body may experience with age. If you are looking for solutions, Restore Physical Therapy can help! What Are The Most Common Age Related Health Conditions Aging can certainly seem daunting, as it brings with it a slew of possible health issues. According to the World Health Organization, between 2015 and 2050, the proportion of the world’s population over 60 years will nearly double from 12% to 22%. It is important to know
what challenges to look out for when you reach age 60 and above. For most older adults, good health ensures independence, yet far too many struggle every day with health and safety challenges such as chronic disease, falls, and mental health issues. All of these conditions can severely impact your quality of life. Some common health issues people face as they age include chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, hypertension, cancer, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and diabetes have a significant impact on your health and function. Normal aging causes changes to our sensory system (i.e., eyes, ears, touch, taste, and smell) and changes to muscle strength and fat makeup. There are many regular age-related changes in the immune system, including a chronic inflammatory state and changes to our bowel and bladder function. One of the most important considerations is how aging affects our cognitive health. Significant changes to our psychological and cognitive function lead to conditions like dementia/Alzheimer’s and depression. These types of health risks impair one’s memory, making it difficult to remember and recall as quickly as we used to, in addition to hindering the ability to learn new things.

Continued from previous page.
Our physical function is affected due to the changes in our muscles and joints. This leads to an expected reduction in our walking speed and overall mobility decline. Unfortunately, these changes also make us more susceptible to falls. Falls are the leading cause of injury among older adults. How Physical Therapy Can Help There are some preventative measures that you can take on your own to try and avoid some of these health conditions; however, sometimes, the aid of a professional becomes necessary. Physical therapy treatments are a safe, healthy, and easy way to correct some of these conditions and prevent your risk of developing them. Together with our physical therapists, we can create a physical exercise plan to ensure you’re getting as much physical activity as you can throughout the day. This will include treatment-specific exercises to increase strength and overall mobility to help prevent other health issues. It is also essential to maintain a healthy diet, ensuring you have sufficient protein to help with bone strength and minimize muscle wasting. Our physical therapists can help set up a meal plan for you to ensure you’re getting the nutrients you need and maintaining a healthy weight. Your physical therapist may also suggest at-home exercises for you to do. They may also offer another form of treatment, such as aquatic therapy, to increase muscle strength and ease discomfort. It’s Your Body, It’s Your Choice No Doctor Referral Necessary Whether you want to come in for a check-up, suffered a recent injury or you want to improve your health, a doctor referral is not needed. In the state of New Jersey you have direct access to physical therapy! Why not use it!
Call Today To Schedule An Appointment If you are suffering from some of these health conditions or think you might be, give our team at Restore Physical Therapy a call today. We’ll be more than happy to schedule a consultation with you and discuss how we can help treat some of these conditions. Aging doesn’t have to be as daunting as it seems — our physical therapists can help you maintain your highest quality of life!

Patient Success Stories
Bilateral Horizontal Shoulder Abduction
“In August, I was diagnosed with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. I immediately contacted Dave Huttinger, whom I had known from multiple prior orthopedic injuries, and he was able to restore me to my normal routine in a matter of 6 therapy sessions. Between sessions, he contacted me via text “Thank you, Dave, for all you have done to keep me active, especially because the older we get, it becomes harder to fully recover.”
Start by standing up straight and holding one end of a resistance band in each hand. Raise your arms straight out in front of you. Pull your shoulder blades together. Spread your arms straight out to your sides, pulling the band apart. Once you have reached your maximal range of motion, let your arms come back in.

messages to check on my progress with my at-home sessions facilitated by an APP specifically for this type of vertigo. I have made a full recovery, and I am proud to have been able to return to my normal 3 mile run 5 days a week without symptoms. I would highly recommend this specific treatment for vertigo because many people feel that they have to live with the symptoms until they resolve on their own. Dave is a master at what he does. I have recommended him to many of my friends who have needed therapy because he is extremely knowledgable and professional. Thank you, Dave, for all you have done to keep me active, especially because the older we get, it becomes harder to fully recover.” - Jacqueline — actual 5 Star Google Review 8 1 7 3 3 7 6 2
