We recently receive a phone call from a family looking for exercise for their 92-year-old mother. Her last 10 months had been plagued with multiple hospitalizations, she is now using a walker, having difficulty moving, and is falling regularly. The family realized that the "piece of paper with exercises on it" given to their mom following rehab, was not the answer. With ongoing strength training we can get her moving better and stop the falling. The ultimate goal is to get her traveling again with her daughter!
Seniors want to Get Strong and Stay Strong so they can continue to enjoy the things they love to do. No one ever said, "Bring on those mobility challenges." We help people to understand why they are struggling and what steps can be taken to make life better.
