TrainSMART's Safe Strength Training and Physical Therapy Helps Senior Regain Strength to Care for Their Spouse

At TrainSMART Personal Fitness, we understand that seniors face unique challenges. Our mission is to provide safe strength training and physical therapy to help seniors regain their strength, improve their posture, and enhance their overall quality of life. Let me share the story of one of our clients, Fred, to illustrate how our customized fitness programs can make a real difference.

Client Profile

Meet Fred, a 70-year-old man who is deconditioned, relies on a walker, has poor posture, and suffers from low back pain following two knee surgeries. Fred’s situation was compounded by the fact that his wife is battling liver cancer, and her doctors expressed concern about his ability to care for her. Fred is really upset about this and mentioned repeatedly.  Fred is determined to regain his strength, improve his posture, and walk without a walker, all to continue caring for the love of his life.

Challenges and Goals

Fred’s primary goal was to regain the strength and mobility necessary to care for his wife. He wants to walk independently, stand upright, and improve his overall function. Fred’s story is one of determination, and it’s a perfect example of how safe strength training can dramatically improve a senior’s quality of life.

Customized Fitness Programs Tailored for Success

At TrainSMART, we begin with a Comprehensive Assessment and Functional Movement Screen. This process involves understanding Fred’s medical history, goals, and current level of function. We then design a fully customized program tailored specifically to Fred’s needs. This strategic plan is not static; it evolves based on continuous assessments and feedback to ensure it remains effective.

Our approach integrates Functional Strength Training and Physical Therapy to address Fred’s specific needs:

• Glute Activation: Strengthening the glutes to support posture and mobility.
• Muscle Tissue Quality and Density: Improving overall muscle health.
• Flexibility and Mobility: Enhancing hip extension and general flexibility.
• Core Training: Building core stiffness, stability, and endurance to support posture and movement.
• Posture Improvement: Correcting posture to reduce pain and improve function.
• Balance Training: Enhancing stability and preventing falls.
• Energy and Confidence: Boosting Fred's energy levels and self-assurance through safe, progressive strength training.

Fred opted for our Private Training Program, where he receives one-on-one sessions twice a week. Additionally, we collaborate with medical experts to ensure that his program is as effective as possible.
