A Resident Success Story of Physical Therapy in OKC
One of our residents, who is 83, was worried and scared to leave her home due to her confidence in her balance. She started physical therapy to focus on strengthening and balancing activities. This lovely lady can now ambulate on all terrain with a single-point cane. Her balance worries are behind her!
Therapy Types for All Lifestyles
Senior rehabilitation services often fall into three primary types: physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Each plays a crucial role in helping individuals regain their independence and improve their quality of life.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy helps seniors restore and improve their functionality, reduce pain, and increase mobility for better strength and balance. These services can be preventative or restorative.
Physical therapists use exercises, stretching maneuvers, hands-on therapy, and equipment to ease residents’ pain. Each activity is designed to help older adults increase their ability to move, manage discomfort, restore function, and prevent disability.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy focuses on improving a person’s ability to perform activities of daily living by enhancing their motor skills, cognitive capabilities, and coordination.
This could include tasks related to personal care, like dressing, cooking, eating, or other activities. Occupational therapists may modify the physical environment in the home to allow the resident to function independently. They also may make recommendations about adaptive equipment and training in its use.
Speech Therapy
Speech therapy addresses challenges with language and communication. It can help people improve their speaking ability and understand others, or to read, write, and swallow. This therapy can be beneficial for people experiencing a recent stroke, brain injury, hearing loss, or developmental delays.
Speech therapists use an approach tailored to an individual’s needs, including exercises, training, and strategies to help improve speech and language skills and swallowing.
Each of these therapies plays a vital role in helping residents recover from an injury or illness, manage chronic conditions, and enjoy a higher quality of life.
