STAYING ACTIVE & BALANCED “Focus On Strength &Balance!”
Do you find yourself not as active as you use to be? As you age, you lose muscle and bone mass leading to the development of problems such as back pain, arthritis or osteoporosis. This makes it harder to do normal everyday activities like squatting down, getting out of bed, walking and more.
Rebecca Alvey, PT
Regular exercise and physical therapy slows the loss of muscle mass, strengthens bones and reduces joint or muscle pain. In addition, physical therapy improves mobility and balance, which reduces the risk of falling as you age or suffering a serious injury. Scientists used to think that strenuous exercise was the only way to improve your health. However, new research suggests that just 30 minutes of moderate physical activity provides most of the health benefits needed. Moderate intensity is best, but even low-intensity activity is better than nothing. While some people may enjoy participating in a regularly scheduled exercise class, others may find it easier to just increase their daily activities, like walking. It’s never too late to start moving Physical activity is important, and can help you live independently for as long as possible. However, if you have chronic aches and pains, it can be difficult to exercise. This lack of physical activity can make the condition worse and more difficult to live with. This is where physical therapy can
really help you. Not only do we relieve your aches and pains quickly, we can teach you how to safely exercise to maintain your new pain-free mobility. Our knowledgeable physical therapists are experts in muscle and joint problems, helping you return quickly to normal pain free function.

“I am getting back on track!” “When I arrived at ARI, I did have my doubts of how this therapy was going to help! I had a lot of joint pain, shoulder and neck issues, and inability to stand or walk. I could sit on a chair, but needed help getting up. Personal hygiene, cleaning, cooking, baking and laundry was nearly impossible. Stair steps were not an option. Soon after I began therapy and thanks to Alfredo, Cyndi, and Kendra, things began to happen. I began working on my balance, walking, reaching and trying to do things that I could not do. With continued encouragement from them and my husband, I am getting back on track. I continue to do my exercises at home and see and feel improvement every day. A big thank you to the team at ARI-Cyndi, Alfredo, and Kendra.” - Marion W. Patient Success Spotlight
