No matter what type of physical exercise you are trying to get back into, form is a crucial part of it. Proper form could mean the difference between physical progress or injury. Your ability to safely perform any movement is reliant on great posture and proper body positioning. When living a sedentary life, it is possible for your natural posture to shift a bit. Your physical therapist will create targeted exercises and stretches for you to improve your current form and limit the amount of impact on your joints during exercise. 3. Getting back to your weight goal. Quarantine has caused many of us to lose some muscle mass and put on some more weight. With help from a physical therapist, you can set up an exercise regimen that will help you shed some pounds and maintain a healthy weight, taking off the added stress on your joints that may have developed during quarantine. Your physical therapist will customize an exercise plan for your specific needs, which may include stretching, aerobic exercise, weight training, or pain relief treatments if necessary. This will help in reaching your targeted weight and decreasing pressure on vulnerable parts of your body. Looking for more assistance? Contact us.

During quarantine, many of us probably decreased the amount of physical activity we engaged in. With gyms and exercise classes closed down, it was difficult to find the motivation to get your daily physical activity while sitting at home. The sedentary lifestyle that I’m sure many people experienced while being quarantined to their homes actually lead to more aches, pains, and discomfort than one may have thought.

Your body, quite simply, was made to move! At FYZICAL, we want to make sure you are able to get back into your normal exercise routine now that things are going back to normal. Follow our tips below and feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions! Returning to activities safely and comfortably: 1. Baby steps at first. If you haven’t been participating in the same type of physical activity you used to be accustomed to, it is important to begin with baby steps. Start small in the beginning and build up from there. When you push your body past its current limits, you make yourself more prone to injuries because your body is not prepared for the physical demands being asked of it. Our physical therapists can help you understand the limits that your body developed while under quarantine and can create an exercise plan for you to get back to your physical goals.
