Keeping Seniors Healthy Through Exercise
The health benefits for seniors who exercise regularly are numerous. Exercise helps maintain overall health, physically, emotionally and mentally, where suddenly one's energy levels peak and fatigue lessens. Exercise also enables one to remain independent and comfortable with their own physical abilities.
Avamere Rehab of Clackamas provides service in two ways:
- We provide short-term, more intensive rehabilitative therapy to heal and restore muscle function and strength.
- We also offer personal senior citizen fitness routines for longer term residents to help ease discomforts and make life more enjoyable.
As seniors get older, more emphasis is placed on senior citizen fitness activities and senior fitness training that that builds endurance and develops muscle tone without putting stress on the body. Exercises might include cardiovascular activity such as swimming, chair exercises for the elderly and balancing exercises, all designed to enable our residents to move freely and confidently.
