Additional benefits of Physical Therapy

1 in 3 older adults experience a fall each year. Over $50 Billion dollars is spent on medical costs because of falls. Falls can lead to a loss of Independence and in some cases death. Almost 20% of people who have a hip fracture die within one year.

Physical Therapy not only helps people recover after an illness or surgery, but they can teach older adults how to fall safely. By practicing the techniques with a qualified PT, seniors will become more confident, and it will become a reflexive action.
