Geriatric Conditions

What is geriatric physical therapy?

As we age our muscles and joints lose their strength and stability. This change leads to more falls and injuries as daily tasks become more difficult and cumbersome. Standing, walking, going up and downstairs, getting in and out of bed or a car can all become difficult, painful, and even dangerous. For these reasons, a regular physical therapy program is the key to a more fulfilling and enjoyable life as we approach age 65 and beyond. Our HealthQuest team of physical therapists and technicians have countless hours of experience helping our elderly communities reduce their pain and engage in more activities with their loved ones.
