Physical therapy can greatly improve the quality of life for older adults by addressing age-related changes and preventing injuries. As we age, we lose muscle and bone mass, which can make simple tasks like climbing stairs or getting up from a chair difficult. Physical therapists create customized exercise programs to build strength and improve mobility. This helps prevent falls, which are common and can lead to serious injuries in older adults. Regular physical therapy can also address pain and discomfort early on, preventing them from becoming bigger issues. By maintaining strength and mobility, older adults can stay active, independent, and safe in their homes.
