Physical Therapist Directed Care for Weakness & Limited Endurance
Physical therapy is a crucial aspect of healthcare for individuals facing weakness and endurance limitations, especially as they grow older.
Middle-aged and senior patients often experience a decline in their physical abilities, which can lead to a host of other health problems. Physical therapy can help these individuals regain their strength, improve their endurance, and maintain their independence for as long as possible.
Clinical Research Supports Physical Therapy Treatment to Improve Strength & Endurance
The first step in addressing weakness and endurance limitations is identifying the underlying cause. For many middle-aged and senior patients, the issue may stem from a chronic health condition such as:
- Arthritis,
- Heart disease,
- Diabetes, a recent injury or
- Surgery.
Regardless of the cause, we will be able to design a customized treatment plan to address each patient’s specific needs.
Personalized, Guided Resistance Training is the Best Solution
Resistance training, also called strength training, is one of the most effective forms of physical therapy for addressing weakness and endurance limitations. Strength training is a form of exercise that focuses on increasing the strength of the muscles and improving overall endurance. This therapy can help middle-aged and senior patients resulint in:
- Improved muscle mass,
- Increases in energy levels, and
- Improve their overall physical function.
