Gaint & Bounds

About

Excellent Physical Therapy has developed a special program for our geriatric patients to enhance their quality of life; it is called The Gait and Balance Program for Seniors. It is specifically designed for our geriatric patients 65 years and older. We have recruited Physical Therapists with special interests and experience in balance and gait training as it relates to the geriatric patient. Our staff performs an Evaluation and Assessment of the patients physical and functional capabilities. From that evaluation we design and implement an individualized therapeutic program for each patient with an end goal of improved walking, balance and functional independence. We will also consider any medical precautions that might limit their progression. Our goals are realistic for each patient and we use a slow but steady approach to avoid injury or exhaustion. This is a program designed and performed by a Licensed Physical Therapist for older patients.
