The past decades have witnessed an insurmountable growth in the scientific evidence of brain healthy behaviors. As such, there is high-level scientific evidence to support that pursuing a healthier lifestyle can have a monumental impact in the life of older adults, decreasing risk of dementia (their most feared health problem), and even in those with age-related impairments in their thinking abilities, pursuing healthier lifestyles can reduce the severity of functional disability (i.e., improve people’s ability to maintain independence for a longer period of time).

For example, large clinical trials from reputable experts in this field have found that older adults in their 70’s (even if they already had early signs of cognitive deficits, and associated comorbidities) who participated in a multi-component lifestyle program targeting brain healthy behaviors (like being more physically active, pursuing a more healthful diet, actively engaging in mentally challenging activities, managing mental health and stress, among others), had a 30% reduction in the risk of dementia, as well as 30% improvement in their overall thinking abilities. However, an approach that translates this scientific evidence to clinical practice is currently not feasible or financially sustainable within the constraints of insurance and Medicare reimbursement models.

In response to this trend, Dr. Gomes-Osman plan to implement a physical therapy and health coaching practice in Miami, FL, based on the following principles: access, reliability, personalized approach, evidence-based care and empowerment. Patients will be seen in the comfort of their own home, and will have regular access to the physical therapist by telephone and email. Dr. Gomes-Osman will cover the areas of Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, South Miami and Pinecrest. After a comprehensive assessment, Dr, Gomes-Osman will partner with each individual and their families to define a personalized plan of care. Each individual program will vary, but will cover personally relevant themes in the following areas:

• Diving safety
• Home safety
• Functional capacity including Fall Risk
