HOW STRENGTH TRAINING CAN IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH In the past, many people associated strength training with oiled-up, musclebound bodybuilders — and, as such, decided strength training wasn’t the workout for them. But that idea couldn’t be farther from the truth! In a way, we get it. Strength training can be incredibly intimidating if you’re coming at it cold: you have to grapple with unfamiliar equipment, uncertainty about proper lifting techniques, and confusion about which exercises to perform. But once you find your footing, strength training is one of the best things you can do for your overall health and wellness.

At APEX Physical Therapy, we want to help make strength training accessible to all, regardless of age, health history, or ability level. To help you see the many benefits of strength training, we thought we’d share the stories of two patients: Alisha and Michelle. Both of these patients are ordinary women in their late 50s. Neither were hardcore athletes, but both discovered the health benefits of strength training. Alisha: A New Hobby in Middle Age Alisha first came to see us after she injured her back while working in the garden. Like most older people, Alisha’s muscle mass had been steadily decreasing, and the resulting weakness had ultimately led to her injury. We provided her with a customized treatment plan, including dedicated strength training focused on Alisha’s core and back. She was surprised by how much she enjoyed the exercises, including how great she felt after completing them. As her rehabilitation neared completion, Alisha asked her physical therapist for more information about strength training. She had heard it was an important piece of osteoporosis prevention, something that had been in the back of her mind since the condition ran in her family. We were more than happy to help Alisha out. Her therapist helped her develop a general strength training program using barbells and dumbbells. He walked her through each exercise, assessed her lifting form, and guided her on gradually increasing intensity. The result? Alisha found a new hobby. She became an avid weightlifter, hitting the gym three times a week. Even better, she restored some of her lost muscle mass, and her garden activities became easier over time.
