Join us for the upcoming live APTA Geriatrics Webinar: More than a Headache: Concussion in Older Adults.

Happy 2025!

Today, we celebrate the incredible impact physical therapy has on improving lives worldwide. As geriatrics physical therapists, we play a crucial role in empowering older adults to stay strong, independent, and active at any age.

Strength training for older adults is a powerful tool to improve mobility, strength, and quality of life at any age. The myth that older adults are "too old" to lift weights simply isn’t true!

Share your strength training strategies and success stories with us in the comments.

Getting older doesn’t mean slowing down. Healthy aging is about doing what you love at every stage of life. At APTA Geriatrics, we're dedicated to helping older adults stay strong, independent, and active.
