Geriatric Physical Therapy

Geriatric Physical Therapy

Moving well… and aging well

 

Be independent, get mobility back in your life.

Geriatric physical therapy is geared to concerns people go through as they age. There are many conditions that effect people as we age: arthritis, osteoporosis, hip and joint replacement, balance disorders, and more.

Geriatric physical therapy specializes in providing therapy solutions for these conditions that exist in older adults.

For seniors recovering from surgery or injury, or chronic pain, physical therapy is vital to recovery.

Physical therapy for seniors has a magnitude of benefits including regaining strength, balance, and a sense of confidence.

It can also provide seniors independence and assistance in tackling daily tasks.

CORE Care is geared toward helping geriatric patients maintain functionality in their daily activities. Part of the treatment process is to ensure our senior citizens that their daily tasks and routines can still be completed with minimal or no discomfort.

Physical therapy is a proven means for older adults, at every level of physical ability, to improve their balance, strength, and remain active.

As we age, our bodies don’t recover as fast as they used to, making physical therapy as we age even more important.

Benefits of Physical Therapy for seniors

Some of the main benefits of physical therapy for seniors include:

  • Reduce the risk of falls

  • Treat pain without surgery or drugs

  • Reduce risk of infection

  • Maintain a healthy lifestyle

  • Improve strength

  • Increase levels of activity

  • Improve sleep

  • Improved balance

  • Help avoid surgery

  • Prevent injury

  • Management of age-related medical problems

  • Increase in confidence

In addition, a recent study shows that  physical therapy can lower patient treatment costs by 72%.

Possible consequences of seniors skipping physical therapy, especially following a hospitalization or surgery:

Increased pain

If you’re not moving properly because you’re not participating in physical therapy, your joints tend to get stiff. This leads to even more decreased mobility and pain. 

Falls

After injury, surgery, or hospital stay, many seniors are weak and more prone to falling. Not having recommended physical therapy after injuries can potentially lead to further injuries due to falls.

Reduced Long Term Strength and Endurance

During recovery, physical therapy can influence your strength and endurance level, which will stay with you long after you’ve finished your sessions.

Physical Therapy Can Help You

Physical therapy can restore or increase strength, range of motion, flexibility, coordination, and endurance -- as well as reduce pain.  But above and beyond those tremendous effects, physical therapy will help the patient maintain their independence, allowing them to continue to perform their everyday tasks.
