The end of Medicare-covered physical therapy doesn’t have to mean the end of progress.

For many older adults, physical therapy is an important part of recovering from an injury, surgery, hospitalization, or health condition. 

But families are often surprised when Medicare-covered physical therapy ends and they’re told their loved one no longer qualifies for skilled therapy.

“So, what happens next?” you might ask. 

Senior Fitness After Physical Therapy

This is where senior fitness can be an important next step after physical therapy. While physical therapy focuses on skilled rehabilitation and treatment, senior fitness focuses on maintaining and building upon those gains through regular exercise. 

A personalized program can address strength, balance, flexibility, mobility, endurance, fall prevention, and functional fitness which are all important components of healthy aging and maintaining independence.

Why In Home Senior Fitness Can Make the Difference

The transition after physical therapy can be difficult, especially when an older adult is not comfortable going to a gym or their family cannot provide consistent exercise support. In Home Senior Fitnessbrings personalized exercise directly to the client, making it easier to stay consistent and exercise safely in a familiar environment. Our programs are designed around each senior’s abilities, goals, and home environment, helping them stay active long after formal rehabilitation ends.
