Are Barbells and Kettlebells the Future of Geriatric Care?

Barbells and kettlebells are typically considered tools for younger populations and reserved for fitness centers. But should they also play a central role in therapy for older adults? What about in the frailest? How about in home health? Learn from experts who are using these tools in exciting and innovative ways with their older clients of all ages and abilities to improve their care and maximize their functional abilities.

Biggest Mistakes Therapists and Fitness Professionals are Making with their Older Clients (and how to fix them)!

We all want to be better clinicians and professionals but sometimes we are blinded by our own biases and can't see where we need to improve. Are you unknowingly making some critical mistakes with your older clients? If so how do you fix them? These seasoned professionals representing multiple professions drop some serious truth bombs that will help you become more effective and efficient with your older clients as they address mistakes they commonly see being made by health and fitness professionals.

Therapy is Fitness and Fitness is Therapy: New Models of Integrated Care for Older Adults!

Now more than ever we need a healthcare system that is focused on prevention, is more holistic and extends care way beyond its traditional borders. But how do physical therapists break out of the traditional care routine that is so limited by insurance reimbursement? In this session we will explore two therapists who have successfully integrated fitness, wellness and rehabilitation into a business model that maximizes the long term impact for their older clients.
