Exercise Prescriptions By a Doctor of Physical Therapy
​
“I am trying to get back into exercising since having COVID, but my breathing hasn’t been the same.”
“I have diabetes, hypertension, and arthritis pain. I want to start exercising for my health but I don’t know where to start considering my medical diagnoses.”
“I want someone who understands my medical background as well as fitness goals. I want to feel like what I’m doing is safe and won’t put me at risk for another surgery.”
“I want to weight lift during pregnancy to stay strong, but there is all this conflicting advice online. I want to know what is safe for me, safe for the baby, and how to modify as I grow.”
