Physical Therapy for Older Adults

Geriatric physical therapy targets strength, coordination, and endurance to help seniors stay active and independent.

Benefits:

• Prevents muscle atrophy and deconditioning
• Improves balance and reduces fall risk
• Aids recovery from surgeries or injuries
• Supports daily activities like walking, dressing, and bathing

Common Techniques:

• Strength and flexibility exercises
• Balance training and gait reeducation
• Pain relief modalities (heat, ice, ultrasound)
• Postural and mobility coaching

Why Combine Both?

Together, chiropractic and physical therapy address both structural alignment and functional movement:

• Chiropractic care restores spinal and joint alignment
• Physical therapy retrains muscles and improves coordination

This integrative approach is especially helpful for:

• Fall prevention
• Chronic pain management
• Post-surgical recovery
• Maintaining independence in daily life
