Who could benefit from PT telehealth appointments?

****People who are having pain or difficulty with their current work from home set up. Many people are working from home for the first time and didn’t have time to set up an ergonomically efficient home office. It has never been easier for us to help you perfect your set-up to decrease the strain on your sore neck, back, hip, shoulder, etc!
****People who are having difficulty with childcare due to daycare and school closures. You don’t even need to leave the house!
****People with compromised immune systems or who may be at high risk during the current COVID 19 outbreak.
****People who prefer a more private treatment setting than the open clinic. Telehealth sessions are completely one-on-one in a quiet, private setting.
****People who are unable to afford their copay at this time due to loss of income (please confirm with your insurance company how they pay for telehealth appointments).**

Today for we are talking about strength training! I think we all know strength training is beneficial for physical appearance (getting buff 💪🏻), but it is important for a ton of other reasons! Here are some benefits of strength training you may not know about...

💪🏻 Lower abdominal fat. A 2014 study of men found that strength training is more effective than cardiovascular exercise in reducing abdominal fat.
💪🏻 Better cardiovascular health. Decreasing abdominal fat also decreases the visceral fat that sits around your heart and other vital organs.
💪🏻 Controls blood sugar levels. Resistance training improves your muscles’ ability to take in and use glucose (blood sugar).
💪🏻 Reduced cancer risk. A 2017 study showed that visceral fat cells produce high levels of a cancer-triggering protein. Thus, decreased visceral fat decreases risk of cancer.
💪🏻 Osteoporosis prevention and management. A 2014 study showed that just 12 weeks of strength training increased spine and femur bone mineral density by 2.9 and 4.9 percent respectively.
💪🏻 Brain health. A 2016 study showed men aged 55-86 who strength trained twice a week for 6 months improved cognitive test scores significantly.

Time to hit the weights! Not sure where to start? Make an appointment today and we can help you get started on a safe strength training program!

This is a great stretch for when you’ve been hunched over your desk all day, but often people arch their back which means their pecs aren’t getting as strong of a stretch. Next time you lay down on your foam roll, make sure to press your lower ribs firmly into the roll and feel the difference in the stretch! @ Tompkins Physical Therapy and Medical Gym of Leesburg
