The Aging Athlete

Helping athletes in all stages of their life

We love our aging athlete patients!

Many of us at Fitzgerald PT find ourselves in this position as we age: having to adjust our fitness or sports goals based on what our bodies can handle. Have you ever been told to stop doing a sport or activity you love due to an injury?

Whether it's co-ed soccer, pickleball, or pick-up basketball, we know that competitiveness and the desire to perform well don't fade with age. Unfortunately, they can come with aches, pains, and flare-ups of old injuries.

At Fitzgerald PT, our goal is to help you stay active and enjoy the sports you love for as long as possible. We offer physical therapy, proper exercise instruction, joint preservation techniques, and a personalized maintenance plan tailored to your aging but still athletic body. While you may need to adjust the intensity or duration of your activities, we’re here to support you with the right strength and balance training program.
