Research Says

Research shows that aging occurs in 100% of the population over time. With aging, there are normal changes that occur, including slight decreases in strength, endurance, bone density and cardiorespiratory fitness. Sometimes these normal changes are accelerated by a sedentary lifestyle, injury, or change in living situation. Research shows that physical therapy is a safe and effective way to increase mobility and quality of life.
