The special needs of the senior population are addressed here. Research shows that 40% of people over the age of 60 will fall at least once per year. When one fall occurs the incidence of a second fall grows substantially. Performing specific exercises consistently each week will drastically reduce the incidence of falls. As we age we lose muscle mass at a faster rate each decade past the age of 40. If we do not exercise key areas regularly our risk of falls will rise quickly. Our fall prevention program is designed to strengthen the key areas that will help you prevent falling.
Arthritis is one of the most expensive and common conditions in health care today. As we age it is often inevitable that we will obtain some arthritis due to the stresses of living life. Maintaining or achieving improved range of motion and flexibility along with strengthening exercises have been shown to help slow and often prevent the development of arthritis. Our programs will provide you with the stretching and strengthening exercises that will help you manage your arthritic conditions.
