- Improved mobility and movement– Movement aids in the prevention of obesity, as well as reducing the risk of a heart attack or stroke. This can also improve your balance.
- Fall Prevention– Falling or injuries caused by a fall is very common among older adults. An effective physical therapy method is a treatment plan of exercises that provide balance and strength training.
