Strengthen Muscles: Prescribe targeted exercises to improve muscle strength and endurance.
Manage Pain: Use techniques such as manual therapy and gentle stretches to alleviate chronic pain associated with conditions like arthritis.
Prevent Falls: Teach safe movement strategies and offer guidance on home modifications to reduce hazards.
Promote Independence: Empower seniors to perform daily tasks and activities they enjoy without assistance.
Manage Chronic Conditions: Assist individuals in managing conditions associated with aging, including osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and stroke.
