Perhaps one of the most rewarding aspects of our job is to help you improve your general fitness level and overall health. Our therapists can guide you with an exercise program designed just for you taking into consideration your special needs and desired goals. With special training, everyone can improve their fitness and learn ways to safely exercise.
There are many conditions that may impair your sense of balance and contribute to falls. The effects of aging are the most common causes of balance problems. Injury and disease can also affect your balance. 1 in 4 people over the age of 65 (who live at home) will fall during the next year. Because falling is a common and potentially serious problem, it’s important to find out what you can do to decrease your risk and improve your general health and mobility.Our therapists are specifically trained to help you improve your strength and balance and even evaluate your home environment if needed.
Our therapists can do an assessment of your physical stature, including assessment of your injuries, strength and flexibility. Adjustments can then be made to your bike to position you in the best mechanical fit to reduce risk of injury and to maximize force production and bike control.
