Orthopedic Geriatric Physical Therapy

Orthopedic Geriatric Physical Therapy focuses on treating musculoskeletal issues in older adults, such as joint pain, arthritis, and fractures. It combines principles of orthopedics, which deals with bones and muscles, with specialized care for the aging population. Therapists assess and design personalized exercise programs to improve strength, balance, and mobility. The goal is to enhance quality of life, reduce pain, and prevent further injuries, enabling older adults to maintain their independence and engage in daily activities safely and comfortably. This approach is crucial for promoting overall health in seniors.
