Do your sore muscles or achy joints just add to that lack of motivation? If so, your body may be experiencing some physical problems. figure out how a consistent exercise plan can increase your energy and help you live a healthier life! WHY IS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY SO IMPORTANT?
Lack of movement and poor posture are the causes of several types of pain, including lower back pain, neck pain, hip pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, and headaches. A slumped posture can even change the shape of your spine over time, in addition to closing your shoulder joints and tightening up the tissues around your hips. These consequences can cause severe pain and may result in a host of other problems if lifestyle changes are not made.

When you don’ t part icipate in frequent physical act ivi ty, your muscles begin to weaken and over time they can even begin to atrophy. Inactive lifestyles also cause joints to become stiff and can alter the physiological chemical processes wi thin your body. In fact , your circulation and lymphatic systems can slow down, which can pose harmful risks. These systems work in producing and excreting toxic wastes (such as cholesterol) and these wastes can build up when the systems aren’t functioning as efficiently as they should.
Living a sedentary l i fe is one of the main reasons why people repor t hav i ng low energy or feeling chronic day-to-day aches. Long car commutes, desk jobs, watching T.V. once you get home f rom work… many people l i ve their lives this way, with very little physical activity. While it may not seem like it is making an impact at the time, this type of sedentary lifestyle can damage your body over time. Contact Reddy Care Physical & Occupational Therapy today to

Perhaps your body simply doesn’t move the way it used to, or perhaps painful areas of your body make it difficult to move in the ways you’d like. Whatever the case may be, the truth is that restriction in movement has the potential to lead to harmful health problems.

Hydrotherapy in an underwater treadmill or pool uses the natural properties of water, or the principles of relative density, buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, surface tension, viscosity and resistance to achieve its therapeutic benefits in a safe environment. A low- impact, high resistance workout in warm water helps reduce inflammation, relieve pain, increase circulation, improve balance and promote relaxation. The stabilizing and buoyant effects of water enable many patients to perform exercises in water that they cannot do on land, reducing the fear of falling and increasing mental outlook.
** Always consult your physical therapist or physician before starting exercises you are unsure of doing. **
