How does physical therapy differ for older adults?

Physical therapy can be a highly effective form of treatment for older adults. At Helix Physical Therapy & Chiropractic, we understand that older adults may have unique needs and challenges when it comes to physical therapy.

Our expert physical therapists and chiropractors use a comprehensive and holistic approach to ensure that older adults receive the best possible care. We take into account not just your physical health but also your emotional and mental well-being.

Physical therapy for older adults may differ in a few ways from physical therapy for younger adults. Older adults may have a higher risk of falls, decreased mobility, and reduced balance. Our physical therapists and chiropractors will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan to prevent falls, improve mobility, and enhance balance.

We may also use specialized equipment or techniques to ensure your safety and comfort during treatment. Our physical therapists and chiropractors understand that older adults may have different goals for treatment than younger adults, and we will work with you to develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

We understand that physical therapy can be critical to maintaining your independence and quality of life as you age, and we are committed to helping you achieve optimal results.

Whether recovering from an injury, dealing with a chronic condition, or simply looking to improve your overall health and well-being, our Helix Physical Therapy & Chiropracticphysical therapists and chiropractors guide you every step of the way.
