S7 E121 - Safe at Home: Real Fixes for Aging Bodies

As we age, independence starts at home—but safety is non-negotiable. In this episode of Next Steps 4 Seniors: Conversations on Aging, Wendy Jones sits down with Dr. Bryan Forton, physical therapist and founder of Elevate Mobile Physical Therapy, to talk mobility, recovery, and practical ways to age safely in place. From adjusting bed height to installing handrails, Bryan shares smart, proactive solutions that keep you moving—and out of the ER. We’re talking real-life modifications, HSA-eligible services, and why that bedside stepstool might be your worst enemy. Whether you’re recovering from surgery or just tired of tripping over your throw rug, this one’s for you. 📞 Contact Bryan: 248-266-5721 📧 Email: [email protected] 💡 Stay informed, stay independent.
