Geriatric Physical Therapy

Geriatric physical therapy specializes in restoring mobility and function for older adults. It addresses age-related conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis, and balance issues. Therapists use tailored exercise programs, manual techniques, and adaptive equipment to improve strength, flexibility, and overall well-being, enhancing quality of life and independence. This specialized approach differs from general physical therapy by focusing on the unique needs and challenges faced by the elderly population.
