Physical therapy for the geriatric population focuses on optimizing function for aging adults. As we age, our bodies undergo wear and tear. Although this process is normal, it sometimes leads to pain and disability, causing patients to limit their activity or stop doing what they enjoy. People who live an active lifestyle lose less muscle mass and flexibility as they age. Geriatric physical therapy can improve strength, mobility and balance to help the aging individual build confidence in staying active.
In physical therapy, we focus on your specific needs and goals. Benefits of geriatric physical therapy include restoring mobility, reducing pain, increasing strength, improving balance, decreasing risk of falls and improving overall fitness.
