Description:
Can Physical Therapy Help Your Aging Parent? You Bet! Not only does physical therapy provide a safe environment for conditioning, it also helps strengthen and improve balance. Not all aging adults need to spend a great deal of time in hospitals or under the watchful eye of a doctor. Nor should those elderly persons with limiting or uncomfortable conditions have to avoid physical activity! Geriatric physical therapy is a proven way for the elderly parents of all levels of physical ability to build confidence, improve balance and strength, and stay active. Many people are familiar with physical therapy as a treatment after a serious accident, injury, or condition such as a stroke. According to the National Institute of Health, physical therapy is good for improving strength, balance, mobility and overall fitness. Your parent is also more likely to avoid falls and maintain independence for a longer period of time! There are also accessible and affordable options for covering the cost. Those receiving Medicare are typically eligible to receive physical therapy under plan guidelines and many physical therapists have a discounted program for the patient once caps may be reached, making it easier to continue treatment or have the cost picked up by a second provider. Note that in the State of Michigan, a doctor's prescription is needed for physical therapy insurance coverage. Physical therapy helps older adults stay strong and maintain their independence and productivity. Looking into their eligibility and what is available to them is well worth the time.
