A Personal Message from Leading Geriatric Physical Therapist, Beth Templin…
Beth Templin
Geriatric Physical Therapist |
Hi, my name is Beth Templin and welcome to HouseFit.
Have you been told by your physician that you need to start an exercise routine, but have no idea how to start? Are you worried that it’s not safe to exercise because of your medical condition? Did you have a bad experience with the last exercise class you attended and now think exercise is not for you? Are you worried you will make matters even worse by starting an exercise routine? If so, then we have some great information to share with you. In the next few minutes you are going to discover how older adults are getting stronger and becoming more independent in their daily lives by starting to exercise. We've put together a Free GUIDE explaining the many benefits of exercise as well as discussing some of the common myths related to aging and exercise. Inside you'll find ... ● Why exercising is a good idea at any age ● Why walking is not enough ● Why strength training is important as you age ● Why exercise will improve your arthritis symptoms ● AND much more Just click the “Yes! I Want The Free GUIDE” button above, enter your name and your email address and you'll receive the Free GUIDE by email. I know so many older adults who believe they are too old to start an exercise routine or have too many medical issues to exercise safely. This is NOT true! As Physical Therapists, we specialize in helping older adults with all kinds of medical conditions to start an exercise routine safely. My Free GUIDE will explain why it’s beneficial and safe for all older adults to start an exercise routine. I’m doing this because too many older adults just accept their declining strength and endurance. They believe that having more trouble moving around and losing their independence are a normal part of aging and they don’t truly understand all of the amazing benefits of exercise and how it can impact their lives. So go ahead... click the “Yes! I Want The Free GUIDE” button, enter your name and your email address to receive the Free GUIDE by email. But maybe you feel like you’ve read a lot of free information on the internet and really just want to talk to someone about your concerns. Is that you? If so, then we offer a Free Phone Consultation with a Physical Therapist. This way you can tell a professional your story and get your questions answered first, before ever making a commitment to come to an exercise class. Does that sound like something you would like to do? Here’s the most important thing... Most people get stuck trying to make a decision about what to do next. They go days, weeks, months (even years!) without taking action. The one thing we can guarantee is that by doing nothing, it won’t get any easier to start an exercise routine and work on improving your fitness. So the next important thing is to take action. Still unsure if you’re ready to start an exercise routine? Choose one of the options below: |

I am very happy I took the steps to get involved with HouseFit. I had a fear of falling and needed to learn more about safety. Beth gave me confidence. She told me that I am never too old to gain strength. After several weeks there was an improvement in my arm strength and I was able to get up and out of a chair without holding on. You couldn't ask for anything better!

"Beth is friendly, warm and has a thorough knowledge of the challenges facing someone with Parkinson’s Disease who, like me, has freezing and gait issues which not only make it difficult to start and continue walking even a few feet but also makes falling an unfortunate fact of life.
On her first visit, Beth assessed my living situation and made suggestions which made it easier for me to move around the house and resume doing some activities, like barbecuing, that I had stopped doing because I was afraid of falling. With every visit, Beth had me do things that increased my strength and balance. I still freeze, but I am more independent and less reliant on my spouse to help me get in and out of my chair and move around the house. Falling remains a risk, but I now expect to go weeks rather than days between falls.
The benefit of in-home therapy for me has been learning techniques for dealing with my issues in the environment in which I live every day. Beth makes it easy because she is always on time, never is in a hurry or rushed, and promptly submits my claims to Medicare. Beth is simply the best!"

"When I first got a referral to Beth due to a bad fall I was at low ebb, physically and emotionally. After her first visit, I was on my way to recovery with a daily plan. She listens carefully to each person’s goals and then explores ways to achieve them, while also gently suggesting ideas for even better posture, balance and strength. I am so grateful to have found her.
Furthermore, she showed me, right in my own home, the best places to do certain exercises safely, using things I had on hand. With her expertise, experience, and positive energy, she has given me a blueprint to move into my late 70’s and beyond with health and wholeness to the greatest degree possible. No wonder I am singing her praises!"
