MORNING POINTE SENIOR LIVING CELEBRATES NATIONAL PHYSICAL THERAPY MONTH

October is National Physical Therapy Month. Morning Pointe Senior Living honored all the in-house therapy partners that help keep its residents happy, healthy, and thriving through activities designed to keep them moving.

“The goal of physical therapy is to help restore and improve functionality, reduce pain and increase mobility for better strength and balance,” said Mandy Taylor, RN, senior vice president of clinical services for Morning Pointe Senior Living. “As people age, they tend to lose flexibility—affecting their strength and balance—so maintaining the desired level of fitness
becomes increasingly challenging. Loss of these functions could lead to a fall that could cause serious injury. We are grateful to all our physical therapy partners for their dedication to Morning Pointe’s resident wellbeing.”

Through proper exercise, education, and therapy services, senior residents are living longer with a better quality of life and renewed sense of confidence.

Keeping residents active and engaged through the help of therapy partners is key to a vibrant, healthier lifestyle.
