Geriatric physical therapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy focused on addressing the unique needs and challenges of older adults. As people age, they often face a variety of physical and cognitive issues, including decreased mobility, balance problems, muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and chronic conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease. Geriatric physical therapy is designed to help manage and improve these conditions, reduce the risk of falls, enhance quality of life, and maintain independence for as long as possible.
Geriatric physical therapists work closely with each individual to create customized treatment plans that address their specific needs, abilities, and goals.
