1. BABY STEPS AT FIRST. If you haven’t been participating in the same type of physical activity you used to be accustomed to, it is important to begin with baby steps. Start small in the beginning and build up from there. When you push your body past its current limits, you make yourself more prone to injuries because your body is not prepared for the physical demands being asked of it. Our therapists can help you understand the limits that your body developed while under quarantine and can create an exercise plan for you to get back to your physical goals, while moving safely and comfortably with your orthotic or prosthetic device.

The sedentary lifestyle that I’m sure many people have experienced since being quarantined to their homes can actually lead to more aches, pains, and discomfort than one may think. Your body, quite simply, was made to move! At Renew PT & Wellness, we want to make sure you are able to get back into your normal exercise routine once the quarantine is over and the stay-at-home orders are lifted. Follow our tips below and feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions!
