FUN WAYS FOR FAMILIES TO STAY ACTIVE
“She pushes me so I will recover fully!” “My physical therapist, Shellie, is excellent. She pushes me so I will recover fully, but is gentle and compassionate at the same time.” — Karen J.
Are you looking for an activity that is healthy and something you can do no matter the season? At FYZICAL, our physical therapists are dedicated to helping you and your family resolve any injury, old or new, prevent injuries and improve your overall health and well-being. Few activities are as easy and affordable to do as a family as hiking. For some, the idea of hiking conjures up an image of someone carrying a huge backpack up a massive mountain. Although this type of hiking has a multitude of benefits, too, hiking a local nature trail in your hometown is a great way to bring the family together and get health benefits you may not know of! Health benefits of hiking There has been a lot of research on the benefits of hiking compared to walking alone. Being out in nature seems to boost the effects and adds additional benefits that a stroll through a city doesn’t provide. Some of the benefits may be immediate, such as: • Decreased blood pressure and heart rate • Decreased stress levels • Enhanced immune system functioning • Improved sleep • Restored attention and improved memory • Bonding with your family

The natural environment seems to help improve our mood, stress levels, and ability to remember, providing a unique opportunity for families to enjoy themselves together. Research has consistently reported that families that hike together also experience improvements in family cohesion. If you’re looking for a fun, safe activity for your entire family to enjoy, try hiking through a local nature trail, and who knows, maybe you’ll end up taking it to the next level with a pack and mountain to conquer!
