January is a perfect time to start a new fitness journey or improve your overall wellness. Embrace the New Year’s energy to be motivated, inspired, and consistent. Have you considered incorporating Physical Therapy into your program? Physical Therapy is associated with recovery from injuries or surgeries; however, there are numerous benefits of Physical Therapy beyond rehabilitation. Whether you are a regular exerciser, have a desk-bound career, or are simply looking to improve your overall wellness, the Physical Therapists at 1st Choice Physical Therapy can help you in unexpected ways, even if you are injury or pain free at this time. Here’s how.
Enhance Posture and Alignment
Modern lifestyles often involve hours hunched over a computer or phone, which leads to poor posture. If not addressed, this can lead to discomfort and even chronic malalignments. A thorough assessment of your posture from 1st Choice Physical Therapists will highlight any postural tightness, weakness, and compensation. A tailored program will be designed to correct your deficits and improve alignment, avoiding difficulties in the future.
Customize Wellness Plans for Your Lifestyle
Every individual is unique in their lifestyle and wellness goals. An assessment at 1st Choice Physical Therapy will take into account your medical history, current fitness levels, and personal goals. It may be as simple as dancing at a grandchild’s wedding in a few months, or as involved as running a half-marathon after years of being a non-runner. Physical Therapy can help you achieve those long dreamed of goals.
Prevent Future Injuries
Prevention is so important in being a healthy person. You can benefit from Physical Therapy by proactively addressing any potential vulnerabilities. An evaluation by 1st Choice Physical Therapists will include analysis to reveal movement patterns that may put stress on joints and/or muscles. Once these patterns are identified, a program consisting of corrective exercises will reduce risk of future injury.
Age Gracefully and Pain Free
We all age over time, but we should not have to surrender to aches and pains. A Physical Therapy assessment can help define what challenges you currently face, including joint stiffness, muscle weakness, postural issues, and balance deficits. 1st Choice Physical Therapists will design a program to address all your needs to help you maintain your mobility and independence.
