Research Says

Mobility limitations are common, especially in aging populations. Regarding mobility limitations in elderly people, the Journal of the American Medical Association states, “Referral to physical therapy is appropriate, because physical therapists can assess mobility limitations and devise curative or function-enhancing interventions. The article goes on to state that physical therapy is particularly beneficial when introducing resistance and balance exercises, as well as making necessary environmental changes to increase safety and mobility.
