Why is rehabilitation therapy important for seniors?

After illness, injury, surgery, or a hospital stay, rehabilitation therapy can help people regain strength, mobility, and the ability to live independently. Maintaining independence is important to older adults, and rehab therapy can be the key to living well.

What types of rehabilitation therapy does Las Alturas offer?

Las Alturas Nursing & Rehabilitation Brownsville offers physical, speech and occupational therapy.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy for seniors helps maintain or improve mobility, increase strength, improve balance and decrease pain. Physical therapy is a game-changer whether someone is recovering from surgery or illness or needs to strengthen muscles to reduce the risk of falls or manage a chronic condition. Additionally, it can help seniors recover more quickly and get back to daily life with fewer lasting health problems.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy helps seniors when they have trouble with the activities of daily living. It can help people adapt to injuries or other medical conditions and teach ways to perform tasks, such as dressing, bathing or cooking, more independently and with less pain. Occupational therapists also suggest changes to the environment to make daily life easier.

Speech Therapy

Speech therapists help seniors with various challenges, including communication and swallowing problems. For people who have suffered a stroke, brain injury or dementia, speech therapy can help improve the ability to speak and understand spoken and written words. Speech therapy can also strengthen the muscles associated with talking and swallowing, allowing people to eat and swallow more easily.
