Frailty is a common condition that comes with aging. It causes many physiological factors to weaken and decline, leaving older adults more susceptible to injury and illness. Strength training is a very effective way to treat, manage, and even prevent symptoms of frailty. Our physiotherapists at Motion Works Physiotherapy in Stittsville can provide older adults with personalized exercise programs that focus on increasing muscle mass and strength, which significantly decline with frailty and age.
The McKenzie Method is used in physiotherapy to assess injuries or discomfort of the musculoskeletal system, with focus on self-management. Anything that affects the spine, joints, muscles, or tendons can be evaluated using the Mckenzie Method. Our physiotherapists at Motion Works Physiotherapy Stittsville can use the McKenzie Method to form a treatment plan and improve symptoms.
