Anti-Aging
Age-related (geriatric) conditions & treatment.
Normal aging should not result in pain and decreased mobility.
If you’ve been diagnosed with arthritis, balance disorders or osteoporosis, for example, you need a therapist who uses proven treatments for such age-related conditions. Someone who can help eliminate your pain, swelling and weakness and help you regain your lost function.
David Regan, PT, has over three decades of experience working with people much like you. He understands how time and stress can take a toll on your body. David also knows how to treat virtually any kind of age-related physical problem. These include:
Geriatric physical therapy is a subspecialty of physical therapy that covers a wide area of issues, such as those listed above, concerning people as they go through normal adult aging, but it is usually focused on the older adult. Geriatric physical therapy helps those affected by such problems in developing a specialized program to help restore mobility, reduce pain, increase fitness levels and more.
David Regan understands the anatomic and physiologic changes that occur with normal aging and has helped thousands of older adults prevent lifelong disability and restore their highest level of function. Using tests, evaluations, screenings, special exercises and a variety of treatments and modalities, as well as patient education, David and his staff can:
- Reduce pain
- Increase, restore or maintain your range of motion, strength, flexibility, coordination, balance & endurance
- Recommend adaptations to make your home accessible & safe
- Teach positioning, transfers & walking skills
- Promote optimal function & independence
- Increase overall fitness through special exercise programs
- Prevent further decline in functional abilities through education, energy conservation techniques, joint protection & assistive devices to promote greater independence
- Improve sensation & joint proprioception
Because no two patients are the same, your specific treatment program may use one, two or several therapies and/or modalities to help relieve your pain and bring flexibility and movement back into your life.
