Terry Dovenspik's Physical Therapy Story
Personalized Approach to Physical Therapy
Each therapy plan is built around exercises and therapies that are specific to the resident’s current condition and progress. Treatment often includes stretching, strengthening routines, and balance-focused movement. When appropriate, residents are also given tools and techniques they can use on their own to support ongoing improvement and independence.
- Strength training to support muscle function and endurance
- Balance work to reduce fall risk and enhance overall stability
- Mobility and movement restoration to improve flexibility, coordination, and ease of movement
- Recovery assistance after illness, accident, or hospitalization
- Age-appropriate exercise programs that focus on supporting the physical health of older adults
