Each of our patients receives a physical therapy treatment program that is tailored to meet his or her specific needs. Our therapists and physicians work together to create a treatment plan that respects the patient’s limits, yet introduces challenges to assist the patient in regaining his or her strength, which ultimately improves the patient’s mobility.
To remain independent, mobility is key. A walking regimen alone can reduce the risk of an individual suffering from a stroke, heart attack, knee arthritis or a hip fracture. Moreover, mobility allows an individual to remain physically active, which can help prevent obesity. Preventing obesity is essential in that according to the most recent research conducted by the American Journal of Public Health, at least 20 percent of the deaths among Americans aged 45 to 64 are related to obesity.
