Provide Physical and Occupational Therapy
Physical and occupational therapy provides an additional motivational tool for elders. Therapists provide safe exercise
instruction tailored to individual needs. They are adept at relating physical abilities to functional goals. For example, they
may determine how much triceps strength training is required to stand from a seated position. Further, the routines they teach help elders develop habit-forming activities. Physical and occupational therapists are both affordable and accessible and are typically reimbursed in part by Medicare insurance. Therapy can be provided at outpatient clinics and with home visits.
