As we enter our golden years, staying active becomes even more crucial for maintaining overall health and wellbeing. While individual exercise routines can be effective, there's something uniquely beneficial about participating in a group exercise class — especially for older adults.

At Thrive Healthcare, we understand that every surgical journey is unique. Whether recovering from join
