General Deconditioning
Get Help for General Deconditioning Today
As we all age, it is normal for our bodies to begin to lose function in what is known as “general deconditioning.”
This is typically a phenomenon seen in older populations or those populations that are sedentary for long periods of time. This may include extended hospital stays, major surgeries where recovery required little movement, long-term illnesses, or the elder population.
Fortunately, physical therapy can help with general deconditioning and can even help you regain some function that has been lost. In fact, as stated by a study conducted by the National Institutes of Health, “Physical therapists often treat older adults with marked deficits in physical function secondary to an acute hospitalization.”
If you have noticed a loss of physical function or mobility and you think you could benefit from physical therapy treatments for general deconditioning, don’t hesitate to contact Delta Plus today.
