Aegis Therapies — Freedom Through Functionality
Home » Service Offerings » Freedom Through Functionality |
Ask your nursing home residents -- or any elderly patients -- what is important to them and they will tell you: The freedom and independence to do for themselves.
To respond to this need, Aegis joined forces with Nautilus, one of the foremost leaders in fitness equipment, to develop a unique machine-based strength-building program for the elderly. Called “Freedom Through Functionality,” this program is modeled on clinical evidence demonstrating that a regular program of strength building is a highly effective way to increase an elderly person’s mobility and independence.
Our Freedom Through Functionality (FTF) program not only provides these benefits to the patients receiving therapy, but also to facility residents and community-based seniors. Proven benefits include:
- Improved quality of life
- Improved body composition
- Increased muscle strength
- Enhanced joint flexibility
- Enhanced functional capacity
- Improved mobility
- Reduced number of falls
