What is Geriatric Physical Therapy?
Geriatric physical therapy is a specialized area of care focused on the unique needs of older adults. As we age, we face specific challenges including decreased strength, balance problems, joint stiffness, and chronic conditions that can affect our ability to live independently.
At Injury Docs, our geriatric therapy program is designed to help older adults maintain and improve their physical function, reduce fall risk, manage pain, and continue doing the activities they enjoy. We understand that staying active and independent is a top priority for our senior patients.
Our therapists take a gentle, patient approach, recognizing that each person has different abilities, health conditions, and goals. We work closely with you and your family to develop a program that fits your lifestyle and helps you achieve meaningful improvements in your daily life.
