Abstract

The purpose of this DNP project is to increase the physical activity, flexibility, and pain levels of the 65 and over population to comply with the CDC's MVPA of 150 minutes per week through a practice quality improvement project. This change will involve an order for patients to attend a free exercise program, address the medical benefits of PA, address perceived barriers to PA, and provide printed PA written resources including exercises and stretching recommendations for the 65 years of age and older patient population in a Chiropractic office in Southwest Florida.
