Due to the physiologic changes that occur with aging couples with desire to remain competitive and active, seniors are faced with an increased risk for traumatic injuries. The human body loses its flexibility, and muscle mass with age. It also experiences decreased healing and undergoes increased joint stresses due to arthritic joint changes.
In the past, active seniors receiving orthopedic surgical procedures were faced with giving up their favorite activities just to prevent re-injury. There have been many advancements in modern physical therapy and surgical procedures. So even conditions as serious as total hip or knee joint replacement does not mean that seniors are forced to stop being active. With proper rehabilitation, most seniors can safely return to tennis, golf, walking, jogging, swimming and other activities that they love.
