There are many factors that can either contribute to an injury or prevent you from successfully recovering from one. One of these factors is weight; your weight is directly related to your overall health and wellbeing, and so it is just as vital as any other component of your physical therapy treatment. Life Fitness Physical Therapy experts can help you formulate a weight loss plan that is about more than just your appearance, it is about your health as a whole.
If you are overweight, this can cause a wide range of health problems. Your joints and muscles are made to support a certain amount of weight, but any additional strain could cause them to weaken or to cause you pain during most movement. This, in turn, could discourage you from seeking out the physical activity necessary to lose weight. However, a physical therapy routine designed to help aid with your weight loss goal can account for this, and you will gradually be able to introduce more and more physical activity into your daily routine.
Being overweight can also make recovering from certain injuries difficult. You may need to exercise a certain amount, for instance, in order to properly heal a pulled muscle, but your weight could be standing in your way. Taking control of your weight can help the healing process happen as it needs to, and with both your weight and your injury under control, you are that much closer to achieving your peak physical health.
