Navigating assessments and treatment planning for older adults requires a deep understanding of their unique physiological, cognitive, and emotional needs.

That means you need a training that understands the unique challenges you face...

...and that's why we put together this certification training specifically for PTs and PTAs who work with geriatric patients. Driven by the real needs of real therapists, it features 16 accomplished clinicians sharing practical solutions that are both evidence-based and highly effective.

This is everything you need to make a lasting impact on the lives of your patients. Using exercise as medicine, you'll skillfully assess older patients for gait, balance, strength, coordination, and more, while designing safe and effective exercise programs that promote active living. And guess what? We've even thrown in gamification techniques to make the treatment process engaging and enjoyable.

Through comprehensive fall risk assessments and action plans, you'll master the art of gait training, improve dynamic balance, and restore functional mobility to ensure your patients stay on their feet and confident.

Plus, you'll level up your treatment for common conditions seen in older adults: osteoporosis, neurodegenerative disorders, dementia, vestibular issues, stroke, TBI, pelvic floor dysfunction, and more!

And that's just a small sampling… you'll walk away with a toolbox full of actionable strategies you can apply in any setting.

But you know what else? We believe that superior skills deserve recognition… which is why your registration includes a FREE certification as a Geriatric Care Professional (CGCP) — a $249.99 value.

This is the training package designed for you, so you can become the trusted expert your patients and colleagues rely on. Join us and become a trailblazer in geriatric rehab!
