Medical Exercise is the use of specific exercises, usually focusing on strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular, to manage chronic and persistent health challenges.
It is usually prescribed by a doctor to manage certain health conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes or osteoporosis. It’s also often suggested as a follow-up upon completion of a physical therapy program. Together with Physical Therapy and other post-rehab services, Medical Exercise can help patients realize a quicker recovery, allowing them to return sooner to their daily activities after an injury or surgery.
While a specialist in Medical Exercise does not diagnose or treat medical conditions, they do work with your doctor or physical therapist to tailor an exercise program that fits your specific needs and goals. The specialists at Hands-On Health Massage & Physical Therapy have the knowledge and skills needed to provide safe and effective exercise programs for people with a wide range of medical conditions.
