For physical therapists and rehab professionals, there’s no better feeling than seeing a senior patient regain strength, confidence, and mobility through consistent therapy. As licensed healthcare providers, PTs play a vital role in the rehabilitation process, often working in clinics or hospitals, bound by insurance regulations, treatment plans, and time-limited care windows. Your work is essential, but once those sessions run out, what happens next?
Too often, progress stalls or even reverses, as patients return home without a plan or the right support.
At ElderFIT, we believe the path to lifelong strength and independence doesn’t end when PT does. It’s just beginning.
Seniors Falling Between the Cracks
Once therapy sessions are complete, we all know that many seniors are left to navigate their ongoing rehabilitation and return to fitness. This often results in:
- Loss of motivation
- Fear of re-injury
- Avoidance of crowded gyms
The result? Seniors stop moving, and the hard-won progress made in the clinic begins to disappear. Even worse, the risk of falling or other injuries increases. 28% of U.S. seniors fall every year, and every 11 seconds, one is treated in an ER for a fall-related injury.
In-Home Trainers Reinforcing Your Work
ElderFIT partners with physical therapy clinics to help seniors transition safely and effectively from rehab to long-term wellness. Our network of certified personal trainers specializes in working with older adults and post-rehab clients, delivering personalized, one-on-one fitness sessions right in the comfort of the patient’s home.
We don’t replace physical therapy. We extend its impact.
