Everyone desires to be healthier, stronger and more active. However, you can often feel like it is difficult to attain these goals because of pain, injuries, or failed diets. What does it take to be healthier? Health is a relative term. It means that your body is operating at a high normal range in all the different systems from circulation, breathing, digestion, and more. It doesn’t mean you have to look like a supermodel. Anything you can do to help your body achieve more of an ideal state is a step towards a healthier you. Strength and flexibility There are approximately 642 skeletal muscles in the body. This means that your strength and flexibility play an important role in your health. Your muscles not only help you move, but they support your circulatory and breathing systems. A stronger and more flexible you, means a healthier you. Relieving joint or muscle pain and guiding you on proper exercise is part of our specialized physical therapy treatments.

Aches, pains, and injuries All of these contribute to an unhealthier you. Pain increases bad chemicals in the body and increases stress. This affects your endocrine system, which regulates the hormones in your body and controls almost everything. Most muscle and joint pains can easily be treated by our specialized physical therapists. Our experts have the right knowledge and the time to listen, evaluate and guide you towards a pain-free, healthier lifestyle. Call us today to learn more and start a new chapter on a healthier you!

7 TIPS TO A HEALTHIER&MORE ACTIVE YOU
1. Take care of aches and pains. Don’t let these long-term problems linger. Get professional help at ReQuest Physical Therapy. 2. Limit your sitting. Get up every 30 minutes and walk around at work and home.
3. Get out and move. Exercise regularly. At least walk every day.
4. Nutrition and portion control. Keep your intake of food nutritious and at a comfortable level. Chew your food more thoroughly and you won’t feel like you have to eat so much. 5. Drink more water. Water keeps your body systems functioning at an optimum level. 6. Breathe! Work on your deep breathing to increase oxygen intake and get your lymphatic system moving. 7. Get enough sleep. Sleep at least 8 hours a day. It is best to get into a routine so you go to bed and wake up on a regular cycle. This helps your endocrine system.

I have a renewed interest in movement! “My problem was with balance and mobility during walking. I needed a cane when walking more than just a short distance.

I commend the staff for their skills and dedication for meeting my needs.” -Paul L.
