Did you know that one in four older Americans falls every year? For seniors, falls are the number one cause of accidents leading to bone fractures or head injuries which can result in a rapid decline in general health. And, once a fall has occurred, it’s likely that the senior will fall again in the future.
Physical therapy helps teach seniors to maintain their stability and prevent additional falls through balance techniques.
Physical Therapy IS NOT JUST for people who need to recover after surgery, after an accident, when they have an injury or chronic pain.
According to the National Institutes of Health, physical therapy is good for improving strength, balance, mobility, and overall fitness.
Cadence Physical Therapy not only provides a safe atmosphere for conditioning, but we also aid in strengthening and improving one's overall balance by creating a plan that is specifically tailored to your needs. Our DPTs (Doctor of Physical Therapy) can ensure that seniors are performing them within a range that is both safe and effective for them.
As the old saying goes, prevention is better than cure! so give us a call now at (847)378-4970 and let us help you improve your balance, flexibility, strength, and range of motion.
