54 health s THE QUEENS COURIER • HEALTH • APRIL 4, 2013 FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.queenscourier.com ADVERTORIAL AgeWell Physical Therapy: Maximizing function and quality of life This private outpatient physical therapy offi ce opened in 2004 with their aim set at helping the local senior population improve their present and future function and overall health. Owned by two physical therapists, AgeWell Physical Therapy has grown into two offi ces located in Lake Success, Long Island and in Maspeth. In 2012, owners John Dragan and Mark Herbrich opened a new complementary practice in Delray Beach, Florida called AgeWell South Physical Therapy. Given the aging population, we think that it is a wonderful service we can give to the senior community. We are reminding them of the importance of staying fi t as they age and assisting them in seeking the professionals that are best trained to address their unique needs. For this reason, AgeWell offers a variety of services including senior fi tness programs, standardized senior fi tness and functional testing, prosthetic and orthotic training, home therapy visits and free transportation for patients over 65. The AgeWell staff includes one Geriatric Certifi ed Specialist, two Certifi ed Exercise Experts for Aging Adults and one pelvic specialist. All of their equipment, staff, programs and clinic layout are geared towards the senior population Age-related changes can’t be denied. Educating adults to prepare for and minimize these changes is crucial to maximizing function and quality of life as we all age into our golden years. Each of us can age in different ways but if we strive to stay on the road of diet and exercise and health, we increase our chances of truly enjoying all the perks of later adulthood. Real success by our clients is realized when they take what they learn from AgeWell and continue on when they leave us. We sincerely hope that they continue to work on their posture, exercise regularly, watch what they eat, get enough rest and stay mentally engaged through social and intellectual activities. In 2012, AgeWell opened in Delray Beach, Florida. Some of AgeWell’s New York patients who spend some of their winter in the Delray and surrounding area recommended this business expansion. This newest offi ce offers the largest AgeWell therapy space to date and still offers the service, quality and even free transportation for seniors that New York AgeWell patients expect.
