Strong Foundations

VNA’s Strong Foundations program is a combination of Rehabilitation and strength building programming to ensure a positive quality of life as we age.

Helping joint replacement patients recover as quickly as possible

Though patients are up and moving soon after a total joint replacement surgery, full recovery is a longer process that requires the assistance of highly skilled therapists to improve mobility and independence.

Whether you’ve had a knee or hip replaced, we are there to make sure that your mobility and independence improve so that you can recover quickly and safely. With the help of our highly-skilled therapists, you can recuperate in the comfort and security of your own home.

Building a Strong Foundation for Aging

Physical therapy is particularly important for adults as they age, as muscles and joints tend to lose strength and stability over time. This can hinder a person’s quality of life and cause issue performing daily tasks and movements, like changing positions, standing, walking and going up and down stairs.

Falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries among older adults.

25%

More than one out of four Americans age 65+ falls each year.

Combating the odds

By focusing more on building strength and endurance to help adults, we are able to help patients:

Keep active

Prevent muscle atrophy

(the wasting away of muscles)

Decrease the risk of falls and related injuries

Maintain independence in performing daily activities
