Are you dealing with chronic low back pain or arthritis?

The stereotype of a feeble and fragile senior citizen is part of the distant past. Now more than ever seniors are interested in learning how to adapt their activities to fit their changing bodies and abilities. Here are a few tips from your Physios to keep the Aging population movin’ and a groovin’ both mentally and physically!

• Every morning, rotate ankles, wrists, arms, shoulders, and neck – this simple exercise helps ease joint pain and wake up resting muscles
• Join a fitness club that offers a variety of classes (such as Tai Chi or Yoga) that help breathing, muscle strength, and flexibility
• Learn something new – like a game or a foreign language
• Be active in your community – volunteer or attend a local community event
• Spend time in nature– take a walk, go fishing, or enjoy a scenic view
• Enjoy the arts – visit a museum, attend a concert or a play

Your Physios in Fayetteville often use Ultrasound Imaging as a tool to help with examination and to establish a personalized physical therapy treatment program. Ultrasound Imaging allows your Physio to assess severity of injury, determine your precise location of injury to the muscle and tendon and also to show progress with healing.
