Managing Adult Scoliosis & Kyphosis

Adults and seniors with diagnoses like Scoliosis and Kyphosis are experiencing positive outcomes through physiotherapy, particularly when degenerative changes, osteoporosis, or osteoarthritis are also present. The mature adult spine can be less flexible and demands a targeted focus on enhancing body mechanics, posture, and daily movement. Treatment objectives for adults revolve around these aspects, with the correction of scoliotic posture being pivotal to impede structural progression and alleviate pain. Conservative treatments, aiming to enhance scoliosis-related body appearance, hold significance across age groups, significantly impacting quality of life and emphasizing the aesthetic dimension. This physiotherapy approach is indispensable in effectively managing spinal asymmetries.

Making New Holiday Traditions

The first holiday season after a move to a senior community can sometimes be stressful and difficult for your senior loved one. Creating new traditions can help with the transition and make the holiday season less stressful for everyone. Although your family holiday events may have been held at your senior loved one’s home in the past, holding gatherings at another family member’s home going forward can make things easier. Have your senior loved one help with one or two tasks that keep them involved without overwhelming them, and take advantage of the many fun holiday events this season!
