Medical Exercise Barrington, IL
Medical exercise refers to the specific plan of fitness-related activities designed for a specified purpose, often developed by a fitness or rehabilitation specialist. Due to the unique needs of each client, the goal of medical exercise is focused on motivation and customization, making achieving goals more likely to succeed.
Rehabilitation Conditioning
The goal of rehabilitation conditioning is to restore a client's level of physical fitness to their pre-injury or pre-disease state, rebuilding strength, speed, endurance, and flexibility lost during illness or injury.
Therapeutic Exercise
Therapeutic exercise is prescribed to correct impairment, improve physical function, or maintain a state of well-being. Programs are designed to alleviate symptoms associated with specific conditions or ailments.
Physician Collaboration
Lindy works alongside your medical team to ensure your exercise program complements your treatment plan. Your safety and well-being are always the top priority.
Exercise as Medicine
In the United Kingdom, medical exercise is referred to as "Exercise on Prescription." Doctors prescribe exercise to those with conditions that benefit from it, such as asthma, depression, or obesity. In the United States, a similar initiative is known as Exercise is Medicine.
Exercise on prescription aims to prevent deterioration of conditions and views exercise as a preventative health measure. Studies have shown that increases in exercise lead to a better sense of well-being and a decrease in blood pressure.
At FIT LIFE, Lindy brings this philosophy to every medical exercise client, treating movement as a powerful tool for managing and improving health outcomes.
Therapeutic Exercise Goals
Regardless of the client, the goal of a therapeutic personal training program is the same: to achieve an optimal level of physical fitness by the end of the training period.
Therapeutic training is also designed to alleviate symptoms that are associated with specific conditions or ailments. Programs are built around your current abilities and progressively challenge you as your fitness improves.
