Older adults have different needs than young adults and physical therapy can be specifically tailored for older adults to meet their unique needs. For example, physical therapy may be modified in the following ways: ● More frequent breaks for hydration; it is vital to stay hydrated while performing physical exercises ● Working out and performing exercises under the supervision of a trained physical therapist to avoid any accidental injuries ● No high-impact and heavy-lifting exercises to avoid injuries to the musculoskeletal system, such as the joints, muscles, tendons, bones, and ligaments ● Close monitoring of the patient; please inform the physical therapist immediately if you experience unusual discomfort, pain, numbness, or weakness during an exercise
