Presentations – Engage hosts a series of presentations by highly trained staff to educate you on the value and benefits of healthy activities and taking care of your body.
Physical Therapy
When falls occur or if you have musculoskeletal issues increasing the risk of a fall, we provide physical therapy services to reduce pain and increase function with the goal of making you feel better, move better, and decrease fall risk.
Following physical therapy, Engage doesn’t stop with your care. Our job is to keep you physically and mentally healthy even after therapy through our Mobility Plus program.
