Introduction

Reaching your 60s and beyond doesn’t mean slowing down — it means training smarter. While muscle mass, bone density, and metabolism naturally decline with age, research consistently shows that strength training is one of the most effective ways to stay healthy, independent, and active.

At Modern Health & Wellness, we believe aging can be exceptional. With safe, doctor-guided strength training, adults over 60 can improve strength, balance, and confidence — while protecting against injuries that often hold people back.

Why Strength Training Matters After 60

1. Preserves Muscle Mass & Function
   • After age 50, adults can lose up to 10% of muscle mass per decade. Strength training slows or reverses this decline, keeping you stronger and more mobile.
2. Strengthens Bones
   • Weight-bearing exercises stimulate bone growth and reduce the risk of osteoporosis and fractures — one of the biggest concerns with aging.
3. Boosts Metabolic Rate & Supports Weight Control
   • Building muscle helps maintain a healthy metabolic rate, manage blood sugar, and prevent unwanted weight gain.
4. Protects Against Chronic Illness
   • Regular resistance training lowers the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, and even cognitive decline.
5. Improves Balance & Reduces Fall Risk
   • Stronger legs, hips, and core muscles improve stability, which helps prevent falls and injuries.

The Problem: Unsafe Training Leads to Setbacks

Too many patients come to us after getting hurt while exercising — often because they joined a group class or worked with a group who didn’t understand their injury history or age-related limitations.

Instead of getting stronger, they ended up in pain, frustrated, and afraid to try again.

Our Solution: Doctor-Guided Personal Training

That’s why we created a safer, smarter approach: training designed and supervised by chiropractic doctors and chiropractic students.

• Our trainers are future doctors trained in injury prevention, rehab, and movement mechanics.
• Every workout is tailored to your individual needs, goals, and health history.
• We focus on proper movement, safe progressions, and exercises that protect your joints and spine.
• We offer New Patient Evaluations for training clients, unlike what typical training settings offer. If desired, clients can go through an assessment with proper musculoskeletal and neurologic testing and potentially x-ray screening

This way, you can build strength with confidence — knowing you’re training in the safest possible environment.

Who Benefits Most from Strength Training?

Our doctor-guided Strength training is also ideal for:

• Adults over 60 who want to stay active, mobile, and independent.
• Post-injury patients returning to exercise safely without risking re-injury.
• Former athletes transitioning from competitive training to long-term wellness.
• Young athletes who need to learn proper form and lifelong movement habits (because safety matters at every age).

Whether you’re starting fresh, bouncing back after an injury, or simply looking to maintain your strength and independence, our program WILL BE built for you.

Our Background Shapes Our Care

At Modern Health & Wellness, our doctors bring personal athletic experience into every training program. Both transitioned from colligate athletics to chiropractic care.

With firsthand understanding of the demands — and risks — of intense training, they now focus on evidence-based, safe fitness solutions that:

• Build strength
• Improve cardiovascular endurance
• Prevent injuries before they happen

Our mission: help every patient train consistently, stay injury-free, and maintain performance for life.
