Physical Therapy for Fitness
If your like me you have put off and put off and put off your fitness routine! When I finally get back to it inevitably I ask myself, "self...WHY DID YOU EVER STOP IN THE FIRST PLACE"!?!?
Then I have to deal with the soreness, the mental challenge and the habit development of my excersize regimen all over again!
I have decided not to do that anymore...and here's why.
I don't want the break from fitness to be so long that when I get going again...I HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION! If you have found yourself with an underlying medical condition that you think is keeping you from a weight loss or fitness program...that's where physical therapy comes in.
Obesity is not a qualifying diagnosis for physical therapy, but many times there are conditions that are a result of obesity that are qualifying consitions for PT. Problems with feet, ankles, knees or hip pain could be underlying conditions that would qualify for physical therapy. Even balance problems will get you in the clinic.
The benefit to physical therapy as part of a weight loss and fitness program is the PROPER instruction to maximize your results without further injury or aggrivation to the condition. While in the care of a physical therapist you can be monitored in all sorts of ways (cardiac, blood pressure, range of motion, impact, etc.) ensuring the safest fitness program possible. The sense of safety and well being you will experience will allow you the freedom to focus on your results. You will be well on your way to a healthier you!
So, let's get back to it shall we??
