Spring Cleaning for Seniors—Stay Safe & Independent

Spring is a time of renewal, and for many seniors, it’s the perfect opportunity to refresh their homes. However, safety should always come first. At CORE Physical Therapy, we believe in empowering seniors to maintain independence while staying safe and injury-free during household tasks.

Safe Spring Cleaning Tips for Seniors

✅ Balance & Stability First
– Avoid using ladders or unstable chairs—ask for help if needed.
– Stand with feet hip-width apart and engage your core for balance.
– Clear away clutter and loose rugs to prevent trips and falls.

✅ Lift Smart & Protect Your Joints
– Bend at the knees—not the waist—when lifting objects.
– Keep loads light and hold items close to your body.
– Use rolling carts or smaller batches instead of heavy lifting.

✅ Prevent Shoulder & Back Strain
– Use controlled movements when sweeping, vacuuming, or wiping.
– Take frequent breaks to avoid overuse injuries.
– Stretch before and after cleaning to reduce stiffness.
