When you think of physical therapy, you might think about injury recovery or back and knee pain. As American Heart Month wraps up, we want to talk about another muscle: your heart.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, but lifestyle changes can help boost your heart health and mitigate your risk for cardiovascular complications. Want to start moving, but not sure where to start or how to avoid pain? Physical therapists can help you learn how to incorporate regular movement into your routine.
Interested in starting a new activity?
Schedule an initial evaluation with a physical therapist to better understand your body’s parameters. Our physical therapists can help you target areas you want to strengthen. Learning about your body’s limits will help prepare you for easing into a new kind of motion.
Pushing through pain?
Old injuries or new strains on your body can cause discomfort. Our physical therapists can help identify causes of pain and work through recovery strategies, so that you can get back to moving safely. If you’ve recently had surgery, post-surgical rehabilitation can help guide your body through healing.
Not sure how aging impacts your exercise routine?
Getting older can change your body’s relationship with exercise. Want to check in with yourself? Schedule a functional movement screening with us. Our physical therapists will assess your balance, strength, and range of motion in a test personalized to your level of function. We’ll work with you to develop a customized at-home exercise regimen.
