Why mobility matters
As we age, social isolation and lack of social support can lead to negative health outcomes, including physical injury, cognitive decline, and decreased quality of life. We believe that a decrease in mobility starts this downhill spiral, and patients should have every opportunity and resource to keep their movement health strong.
Social frailty is the term used to describe the lack of, or decline in, social resources that affects a person's functioning and overall well-being.
Access to physical therapy and occupational therapy can play a crucial role in fighting social frailty in older adults. By providing access to these therapies, older adults can improve their physical function, maintain their independence, and counteract the negative effects of social isolation.
According to a recent article by Risehealth.org, being socially frail can lead to significant health risks among older adults. The article highlights the importance of social support and resources in maintaining physical and cognitive health. By providing access to physical therapy and occupational therapy, we can help combat social frailty and improve the health and well-being of older adults.
At SaRA Health, we believe that every individual deserves access to quality physical and occupational therapy. Our mission is to provide innovative technology and resources that empower patients and therapists to work together toward optimal outcomes. Let's work together to fight social frailty and improve the lives of older adults.
