Senior Strength, Mobility, & Deconditioning

Adults over 60 lose approximately 1–3% of muscle strength per year, and 3–5% of muscle power per year.
Mobility performance (gait speed, sit-to-stand ability) predicts hospitalization and mortality. Gait speed <0.8 m/s is linked with higher hospital admissions.
In-home strength-based rehab improves adherence, function, and confidence more than clinic-only rehab for seniors with mobility impairments.
Strength training 2–3x/week significantly improves function EVEN in adults 80–90+. Older adults show similar relative strength gains as younger adults.
Strength and mobility training can reduce fall risk in older adults by a minimum of 23–34%.
There are far too many conditions that require strength, mobility, & conditioning to list. For each unique patient we tailor our programs to their individual conditions & living environment. Many of the conditions we treat (including but not limited to) are detailed on various service pages.

Targeted & consistent strength training can reverse decline in older adults and can often regain 20–40% strength within 8–12 weeks.
We train gait speed, step length, power, and sit-to-stand speed, because improving gait speed by 0.1 m/s reduces mortality risk by ~12%
Our approach addresses: Leg weakness & reduced muscle power, Gait abnormalities (slow, shuffling, uneven steps), Vestibular issues & dizziness, Limited mobility & difficulty turning / standing and much more
We balance rest but also encourage patients to push themselves. the ACSM Guideline: Older adults should perform 60–80% of 1RM, 2–3x/week.
