About one in every nine Americans over the age of 65 is living with some form of Alzheimer’s disease.
Physical therapy has been proven to lessen symptoms and boost the moods of people with Alzheimer’s. Simple physical exercises like walking, standing, and sitting can help engage muscles and the brain.
In addition, brain games that focus on fine motor skills can be made out of everyday tasks.
Things like letting your person help clean out the dishwasher, hand them all the silverware, and let them sort it sitting at the table. Keep them as mobile as possible and keep them as engaged as possible, according to experts at Pieces of Hope.
Pieces of Hope is a Center that offers various forms of therapy for those with Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and Parkinson’s. The physical therapy at the center is tailored to each patient.
