The Power of Prone Stretching for Seniors: Why It Matters More Than You Think

As we age, staying flexible and mobile becomes essential—not just for comfort, but for safety and independence. One simple but often overlooked position? Prone stretching—lying on your stomach to stretch the front of the body.

Why is prone stretching important for seniors?
• It helps maintain spinal alignment and prevents forward posture or “hunching.”
• It stretches tight hip flexors and chest muscles, improving balance and mobility.
• It supports lung expansion and breathing, especially for those who sit or recline often.
• It can help reduce pain and stiffness in the back, shoulders, and hips.

But here’s the challenge: Many seniors have difficulty getting into or out of a prone position due to pain, weakness, or fear of falling. That’s where mobile physical and occupational therapy can make all the difference.

With in-home therapy, we can help by:
• Building strength and flexibility safely and gradually
• Teaching proper techniques to get into and out of positions with confidence
• Addressing barriers like arthritis, joint pain, or reduced mobility
• Creating a personalized plan that meets each individual where they are

Avoiding prone positioning over time can lead to:
• Increased fall risk
• Reduced lung capacity
• Greater postural deformities
• Loss of functional independence

The good news? It’s never too late to work on mobility, strength, and safe stretching.

If you or a loved one is struggling with stiffness, posture, or flexibility—mobile PT/OT can help, right at home. One step at a time, we can help restore movement, reduce risk, and improve quality of life.

Knee Pain Doesn’t Have to Slow You Down—Especially as You Age

Many seniors live with daily knee pain, making simple tasks like walking, climbing stairs, or even getting out of a chair a real challenge. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to suffer in silence, and you don’t have to leave home to get help.

Mobile physical and occupational therapy brings expert care right to your doorstep—making it easier and more comfortable to get the support you need.

Here’s how therapy can help:
• Reduce Pain: Targeted exercises and gentle treatments can ease joint pain and inflammation.
• Improve Strength & Mobility: Therapy builds muscle around the knee to support movement and reduce strain.
• Prevent Falls & Injuries: Improved balance and function mean fewer slips and accidents.
• Boost Independence & Quality of Life: With less pain and better mobility, everyday tasks become easier and more enjoyable.

Whether it’s arthritis, past injuries, or just wear and tear over time—there’s help available.

You deserve to move with confidence and comfort. Ask about mobile therapy services for yourself or a loved one—it could be a life-changing step toward living well at home.

Identify your knee pain area, then select the treatment!
