4560 Aging in Place
Medicine & Health | Registration opens Monday, March 2, 2026 12:00 AM
Allyna and Bailey will share their expertise on aging in place for geriatric populations, helping older adults to live safely, independently, and meaningfully in their homes and communities. They will cover age-related changes, environmental modifications, adaptive equipment, fall prevention strategies, and the role of OTs in promoting functional independence and quality of life. Pelvic floor exercises are not just for women. Pelvic floor strength is crucial for lower back support, bladder, and proper bowel function.
