Spring Into Action with ProFysio
The warming weather invites us all to step outside, enjoy nature, and take on activities like gardening, hiking, or playing sports with family and friends. While these outdoor adventures are exciting, they can also pose a risk of injury if your body isn’t well-prepared. Thankfully, physical therapy can play a key role in helping you spring into action safely and confidently.
Preparing Your Body for Spring
It’s no secret that winter can slow us down, and this lack of movement can lead to weakened muscles, reduced flexibility, and stiff joints. Jumping back into gardening, jogging, or your favorite spring sport without adequate preparation could strain your body.
Physical therapy focuses on enhancing strength, flexibility, and mobility. Our team creates custom exercise plans tailored to your unique needs and goals to help you get ready for spring activities, which may include the following and more:
- Personalized assessments
- Targeted strengthening
- Flexibility and balance
- Rehabilitation and pain management
- Posture training
