Age is just a number ....

Rehab Point is the only facility around Z-hills, Dade City and Wesley Chapel using Biodex equipment . This Equipment allows our patients to improve their functional activities,  through Movement Rehabilitation, so they can say: " I get younger, because I can do things again now that I was able to do 10 years ago".  Like my 92 year old and 14 year old patients say: " Age is just a number". 

Please visit Biodex web page for more information.

“With balance training and physical therapy, some muscles and nerves can regenerate at any age and compensate for the atrophy often seen in aging, thus reducing the risk of falling,” says Daniel Deems, an otolaryngologist

Falling by numbers 2014 . According to:  NCHS Vital Statistics System for numbers of deaths; Bureau of Census for populations estimates:

Each Second 1 Adult fell; less than half inform their Doctor.  More than 7 Million  Falls required medical treatment or restricting a person activity for 1 or more days.  Do you want to be one of them? These statistics are  for all races, both sexes, ages 65 and older.  Rehab Point can help you.
