NEWSLETTER Your Resource for Health, Wellness & Caring For Your Body
How Physiotherapy Can Help You Get Healthier From fad diets to detoxes, the media regularly bombards us with messages about how to get healthier. Even seemingly simple advice like “exercise regularly” can be difficult to navigate when fitness influencers battle it out to prove that their 30-day program is better than the rest. At The Physiotherapy Center Ltd., we want to help you cut through the noise. As island-based physiotherapists, we take a holistic view of health and wellness and understand that good health isn’t just about physical health but mental and emotional health, too. We also know that everyone isn’t starting from the same place — and that’s okay! We’ll meet you where you’re at and help you develop strategies to find a health-promoting regimen that works for you. Despite what you may have read on social media, evidence-based health-promoting behaviors are fairly straightforward. However, they can be difficult to implement, especially between work, family, and other obligations. We get it. That’s why we advocate for small, simple changes that can make a big difference. Are you ready to start making healthy changes in your life? Call us today to set up an appointment! What It Even Means to “Be Healthy” The World Health Organization defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity,” which speaks to the complexities of health as a concept. Good health also means different things to different people. For example, an 80-year-old on medication to manage high blood pressure and diabetes might consider herself healthy because she lives independently and goes for daily walks on the beach. Meanwhile, a 20-year-old with no health conditions and excellent metabolic health
might consider himself unhealthy because he struggles to keep up with his friends during long kayaking sessions. Living an entire life free of disease or illness is impossible for most of us. However, we can still strive to live as healthily as possible. Moving regularly, managing stress, and eating a nutritionally dense diet will help you feel your best, regardless of whether or not you meet the WHO’s (or anyone else’s) definition of “healthy.” Sources: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6027933/, https://www.ncbi.nlm. nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6315424/, https://www.who.int/about/governance/constitution, https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/sleep/why-sleep-important
