Get Moving Again!
Do you feel sluggish or tired? Is it difficult to motivate yourself to get moving? Your body may be experiencing physical problems that physical therapy can help. At Restore Physical Therapy, our physical therapists are skilled at finding physical limitations and teaching you the skills to overcome them! PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP YOU GET ACTIVE AGAIN
Living a sedentary life is one of the main reasons people report having low energy and feeling day-to-day aches and pains. Sedentary lifestyles increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, and joint and muscle dysfunctions, leading to a higher risk of falls. While it may not seem like it is making an impact at the moment, a sedentary lifestyle can damage your body over time. Fortunately, physical therapists are experts at addressing old and new injuries that may have led to difficulties staying active. We can design a program tailored to your individual needs to help you get back on track! Contact Restore Physical Therapy today for guidance on how to get moving so you can increase your energy and live a healthier life! How Does A Sedentary Lifestyle Affect Your Body? People often spend their life with a long commute to work, sitting at a desk all day, and then at home watching T.V. all night.
An inactive lifestyle has the following effects on your body: • You burn fewer calories which makes you more likely to gain weight. • You lose muscle strength and endurance. • Your joints become stiffer and more prone to degenerative changes. • Your bones may get weaker (i.e., osteopenia and osteoporosis). • Your immune system may not work as well, making you more susceptible to illness. • You have poorer blood circulation. • Your body has more inflammation which makes you more susceptible to aches and pains. When you don’t participate in frequent physical activity, your body starts to weaken, and as time goes on, it breaks down, making you more prone to disease, injuries, and falls. These consequences can cause severe pain and may result in a host of other problems if lifestyle changes are not made.
