Success Stories:

"With the FIT FOR PLAY one-on-one therapy approach, I was able to gain a better understanding of how to deal with my back pain on a daily basis. At NO time did my PT say do this exercise and I'll be back in 10 minutes, like most places do. It was a great experience to receive such professional care."
Tom Gorzoch

Never Say Never

Many older adults are skeptical about venturing into the fitness and wellness world. Because they feel it will not make a difference in their lives this late in the game. Well I say, "You are never too old to create a better you." Physical activity can help prevent and/or delay many diseases and disabilities and improve the health of older, frail individuals and those who have diseases related to aging.

When I think retirement, I think of having lots of free time to do anything and everything. What if you are not physically able to complete the activities you crave: traveling, golfing, bowling, swimming, bike rides, etc? Physical activity comes in many forms and can improve your quality of life by making climbing stairs and carrying groceries easier. It also help prevent falls by developing better balance and stability, however, if you do fall and become injured, it can help increase your recovery rate.

Physical activity can be done at many levels. This means that is safe for all ages and abilities. For aging adults, lose of strength, balance, flexibility and endurance are some of the top contributors to lose of independence. The great news is that with exercises that target these four areas, you are able to maintain or restore levels of operation in these areas.

Be sure to consult your physician or receive an evaluation from a physical therapist before beginning an exercise program. You are not in this alone. Another resource to get a safe and effective start to exercise is a personal trainer. They can motivate and guide you in achieving your desired health and fitness goals. Introducing exercise into your life will be one of the greatest investments for your health.
