Bfit Geriatric Outpatient Therapy Services opened in 2011 and offers a variety of rehabilitation services including physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy can help enhance mobility and quality of life by improving strength, balance, endurance, flexibility and posture. The Bfit gym is arranged with a variety of exercise equipment to advance the rehabilitation of the individual. Our therapists work with people to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing fitness and wellness-oriented programs for healthier and more active lifestyles.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy focuses on the ability to fulfill the activities of daily living such as getting dressed, toileting, bathing, cooking and recreational activities. Our therapists help clients not only to improve their basic motor functions and reasoning abilities, but also to compensate for permanent loss of function. The ultimate goal of occupational therapy is to help clients have independent, productive, and satisfying lives.
Speech Therapy
Speech therapy services boost a person’s ability to communicate and to swallow. The therapy addresses the declines associated with neurological difficulties, age-related illness and deterioration of the swallowing mechanism. It also helps when a person has trouble speaking or articulating words. Our therapy may include exercises to strengthen the muscles of the face, mouth and throat such as blowing out, sipping through a straw and making specific sounds.
