Never underestimate the power of balance, strength and flexibility!
Although the benefits of physiotherapy for older adults are well researched and documented, many people still believe physio is for athletes recovering from injury. In truth, physical therapy is just as focused on injury prevention, strength training, improving flexibility, increasing mobility and enhancing functional movement.
As we age, our bodies change. Seniors often suffer from issues such as back and joint pain, vertigo, arthritis, osteoporosis, limited mobility and weakened muscular strength. Fortunately, physiotherapy can help and can be an important component of your health and wellness plan.
Physiotherapy supports healthy aging in a wide variety of ways:
Restored functionality
Reduced pain
Improved balance, strength, coordination, motor control, flexibility and endurance
Reduced risk of falls
Improved posture
Improved endurance
