🌿 The Life Course Approach to Healthy Aging 🌿
Healthy aging is shaped by experiences throughout life—not just in older age. Conditions such as dementia, frailty, and chronic disease can often be influenced by risk factors starting in childhood, young adulthood, and midlife.
✨ The good news: Physical activity and exercise provide immediate and long-term benefits at every stage of life. Physical therapists play a key role in helping people stay active and healthy by offering lifestyle guidance, tailored exercise programs, and treatments that adapt to changing needs.
💪 Preventing Frailty
• Active individuals are up to 41% less likely to experience frailty.
• Physical therapists design progressive exercise programs that prevent muscle loss, build strength, and improve lung and heart capacity.
• Collaborative care with doctors, nutritionists, and other specialists ensures a holistic approach to health.
🦶 Preventing Falls
• Exercise is one of the most effective ways to reduce fall risk.
• Physical therapists prescribe safe, individualized programs to improve strength, balance, flexibility, and coordination—helping you stay confident and independent.
