How Seniors Benefit from Physical Therapy

Physical therapy can benefit seniors who are:

• Recovering from Surgery: Whether recovering from joint replacement surgery, fractures, or other procedures, physical therapy aids in restoring mobility and strength.
• Managing Chronic Pain: Therapy can help alleviate pain caused by conditions such as arthritis, sciatica, or muscle imbalances and restore a greater range of motion.
• Rehabilitating After Illness or Injury: From strokes to falls, physical therapy supports recovery by improving balance, strength, and coordination.
• Those Managing Mobility Challenges: Therapy can improve mobility for residents using assistive devices such as walkers or wheelchairs.

A Personalized Approach to Physical Therapy

We recognize that every resident’s journey is unique. That’s why we take a personalized approach to care, tailoring therapy plans to meet individual needs and goals. Our physical therapy services encompass a wide range of goal-oriented treatments and exercises designed to maximize outcomes.

Initial Assessment and Goal Setting

Our process begins with a thorough assessment to know each resident’s specific needs. This may include:

• Evaluating physical limitations and areas of discomfort.
• Discussing personal goals, such as walking independently or reducing pain.
• Collaborating with family members and medical providers to develop a comprehensive care plan.

Monitoring Progress and Adjusting Plans

Throughout the therapy process, we monitor each resident’s progress closely. Care plans are adjusted as needed to align with evolving goals and ensure continued improvement.

The Benefits of Physical Therapy for Seniors

• Pain Reduction: Targeted exercises and techniques can alleviate chronic pain and discomfort.
• Enhanced Independence: By improving strength and balance, residents and physical therapy participants can gain greater independence in their daily routines.
