Here are a few reasons why you should start Exercise Physiology sessions at Urban Physiotherapy.
1-Improve Quality of Life and independence
Studies have shown that conducting exercise is beneficial for preventing and treating numerous conditions. In many neurological conditions, exercise has also shown to slow down disease progression while maintaining or developing motor and cognitive function. Together we can continue to develop/maintain gait patterns (walking), movement of all limbs and overall strength needed to conduct everyday activities such as toileting, getting up and down from a chair and walking. Physical activity can also help reduce the risk of dementia and improving lung function.
2- Improve Mental Health and Mood
Studies have also shown that exercise can improve mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety. Any amount of high intensity exercise can help give the body a boost of endorphins which in effect will improve your mood. The great thing about exercise is that it can have positive effects on improving our self-esteem, confidence and anxiety. Physical activity is another great way of being social, being able to exercise with friends or family will not only improve adherence to exercise but it can also make it fun and enjoyable. Exercise physiologist will always ensure you have a safe space to be able to speak to your clinician in a safe and comfortable environment.
