Forever Young Physiotherapy & Fitness
"Minimizing Pain and Maximizing Mobility"
Our Forever Young Physiotherapy and Fitness Program (Home Care Community Outreach) was created as the result of years of experience in working with seniors in a variety of settings including Retirement Homes, Long Term Care Homes and Home Care. The Program's content and context thereof is the fruit of our being able to work closely with variety of care givers that have an unwavering commitment to Geriatric Care.
The Forever Young Physiotherapy and Fitness is currently being delivered to 6000+ seniors in Ottawa and throughout Eastern Ontario and forms part of an all inclusive multi-disciplinary approach to enhancing senior's health. Our Geriatric Programs of Care are delivered to both Long Term Care and Retirement Homes and we focus on both one on one care and group classes that are derived from our Forever Young Fitness and Physio Program.
The biggest issue facing seniors today is the imminent danger of falling and having to live with pain which is often times masked by the use of prescription drugs. Our Program is designed to help seniors get fit and stay fit. Our Falls Prevention Program is based on the profession's Best Practices and is constantly being improved on as Research in this area continues to be at the fore front of most of the curriculums at Canada's major Universities.

The Forever Young Physiotherapy and Fitness Program is also available to the senior's community at large through our Community Outreach Program which is currently available in a variety of locations namely:

Please Note: Participants in the Forever Young Physio and Fitness Program are required to secure a Doctor's Referral and are subject to a Physiotherapy Initial Assessment. Furthermore, participants will be scored based on quarterly Outcome Measures which are measured against the initial baseline findings as prescribed for in the Initial Assessment. This Quarterly Re-Assessment as is the Initial Assessment is completed by a Physiotherapist. Group Classes are delivered by Physiotherapists, Kinesiologists and properly accredited Physiotherapy Assistants.
The Forever Young Physio and Fitness Program is an extension of our Home Care programming whereby in lieu of delivering physio and fitness programming to seniors in isolation (their Home) we invite seniors to participate in this program in a group setting. Research shows that there are significant benefits attributed to having seniors participate in healthy living programming in group settings versus being treated in isolation in a one on one program of care. Notwithstanding, as indicated above, the referring Doctor determines which option is best suited to his or her geriatric patients.
Our programming is Heart Wise Certified by the Ottawa Hospital.
