An Ode to our Future Occupational Therapist 💐...
At Healthy Aging PT, we’ve got a crew,
Of PTs, OTs, and trainers too.
We stretch, we strengthen, we balance all day,
But when it comes to function — OTs lead the way....
You help folks button, you help folks write,
You make daily living feel easy and right.
From kitchen to bathroom, from bedroom to chair,
Your skill set amazes — beyond all compare!..
We’ve got patients who’d love you, coworkers too,
A team that’s supportive (we’re the best — woo-hoo!).
With flexible schedules, compassion, and cheer,
We promise you’ll love being part of us here....
So if you’re an OT who’s ready for fun,
Join Healthy Aging — your job search is done! ..

✨ I'm Back!✨..
Apologies if things have been a little quiet around here lately — I’ve been off the grid (literally!) soaking in some much-needed family time and fresh air in Alaska! 💙
Here’s a favorite moment from the trip — the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen! A photo wouldn't do it justice, so I'm sharing a quick video. ..
Thanks to my team at Healthy Aging for holding down the fort and to you for all of your patience! I’m recharged and ready to jump back into everything we’ve got coming up this fall at Healthy Aging PT 💪🍁 Stay tuned for new classes, events, support groups, and updates!..
PS: Now that I have your attention, we are in search of another OT to add to the team! Any takers? Message me here or at Katie@HealthyAgingPT.com to learn more!

🤨One of the most common questions we hear is:
“When can I have more therapy?”..
If you’ve ever been told you “ran out” of Medicare visits or that you’ve “hit your cap,” you’re not alone. The truth is — Medicare doesn’t have a hard limit on therapy visits...
What matters is medical necessity — meaning that you have a documented need for skilled therapy services. If your condition changes, you develop a new concern, or you need help maintaining your abilities, Medicare Part B may cover more visits...
At Healthy Aging Physical Therapy, we use your benefit in situations such as:..
If any of these apply to you, we can likely see you for more therapy:
✅ A recent fall, injury, or surgery
✅ New or worsening pain, weakness, or stiffness
✅ Changes in balance, walking, or mobility
✅ A new medical diagnosis (e.g., Parkinson’s, arthritis flare, neuropathy)
✅ Decline in function — trouble doing things you used to do with ease
✅ Caregiver changes or new need for safety strategies at home
✅ Ongoing need for maintenance therapy to prevent decline..
If you’re unsure whether you qualify, we’re happy to help you figure it out.

🌞 GET TO KNOW DEB 🌞..
Meet Deb Luciano - one of our amazing instructors and personal trainers at Healthy Aging PT, and a true ray of sunshine in every class she teaches ☀️💪..
Deb’s a self-declared early bird who somehow keeps going all day long (seriously, does she run on espresso or joy?). Her favorite season is summer, and her dream vacation spots are Maldives, Italy, and Greece — we say yes to all three! 🌊✈️🇮🇹..
She shares her home with Bruschi, her adorable little Havanese 🐶 and while her house is spotless, her car… well, let’s just say it has character...
💡Fun fact: Deb is fluent in Italian — she reads, writes, and speaks it like a pro! 🇮🇹..
What brought her to Healthy Aging PT?
“I’ve wanted to dive into the PT world ever since my dad was diagnosed with Glioblastoma. Watching him work with his PT team and walk again inspired me—I wanted to be that person who helps others move through their challenges.”..
What she loves most about working here?
“The people. The teamwork, the support, the clients—we have so much fun and work hard. The seniors I teach are truly inspiring.”..
💬 A powerful reminder from her patients:
“Age is not a limitation.”..
And when things get tough, Deb’s mantra is:
“This is tough, but so am I.”..
We’re endlessly grateful to have Deb on our team — spreading strength, movement, and joy wherever she goes 💛

🎉 HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY, HAPT! 🎉...
July marks the end of our 5th year at Healthy Aging Physical Therapy - and we’ve spent every day of it doing things differently so we can care for you better. What started as my 'pandemic pivot' has grown into something so much more - a thriving multidisciplinary practice rooted in compassion, creativity, and a fierce belief that patients thrive when they are cared for by therapists who are supported, valued and happy....
A LOOK BACK AT THE PAST YEAR:
✅ 250 new patients welcomed into our practice
✅ 307 returning patients (we must be doing something right!)
✅ 7 new team members joined—PTs, OTs, and Personal Trainers
✅ 12 fitness classes taught EACH WEEK in our local communities
✅ Wellness365 Program rebranded and flourishing..
BEYOND THE NUMBERS:
We also added even more services to complement our holistic approach to patient care, including:
⭐️ 1-of-a-kind Fit & Fearless Adaptive Martial Arts and Fall Recovery Program launched
⭐️Complex Case & Family Support
⭐️Parkinson’s Support Group
⭐️HARP (Home Hazard Removal Program)..
WHAT’S COMING UP FOR YEAR # 6??:
💗 More vestibular-certified therapists to support our dizzy patients
💗 Two more therapists joining this month to reduce wait times and expand our service area
💗 Continued growth of our Personal Training Program
💗 And LOTS more that we can’t wait to share...
Thank you to our patients, our community partners, and our amazing team - you’ve helped make this dream a reality. Here’s to the next five! 🥂

🚗No Clinic? No Problem. We Bring It All to You! 🏋️..
After posting a pic of our new HAPT supply shed this weekend, I realized many of you might not know just how much equipment we have on hand for patient care. Just because we’re mobile doesn’t mean we’re limited in what we have to offer. In fact, we go beyond what many traditional clinics offer and carry a variety of speciality DME and adaptive equipment - because we believe you deserve access to the right tools wherever you are..
🧰 From day one, each therapist is equipped with a “Trunk Kit” so they have a car filled of items to support your rehabilitation and recovery. Kits are filled with things like:
✔️ Resistance bands, theraband, weights and kettlebells
✔️ Balance boards, cones, agility rings and ladders, and fun games to keep you challenged
✔️ Outcome testing equipment and much, much more..
And because we can't fit it all in our trunks, we keep a shared supply of durable medical & adaptive equipment, on hand and available for or clinicians to borrow and bring to you to try. We have things like:
🦵 Walking aids like U-Steps, quad canes, stair canes, crutches and trekking poles
🪑 Adaptive equipment like car transfer devices, leg lifters, sock aids, elastic laces, feeding kids, grab bars and reachers
🪞 Speciality equipment like mirror boxes for stroke rehab and more!
