What is a Fitness Assessment?
A Fitness Assessment is a process used to determine overall physical fitness as well as a foundation to create exercise solutions based on specific findings.
Why would I get a Fitness Assessment?
- You may be looking for an exercise solution to a physical issue.
- You may be wondering if you are weak in certain muscles which might make you vulnerable to injury.
- You may be wanting to start exercise, but are worried about making an ongoing problem worse.
- You may be wanting to enhance you physical fitness and head off wear and tear in your joints.
- You may be finished with Physical Therapy but not quite ready to join a regular exercise class.
What is involved in a Fitness Assessment?
Your assessment includes the following:
- A thorough health history to determine the onset of any issues which may currently challenge you. This can give insight in how to improve your work related actions, exercise and eating habits.
- A posture assessment to evaluate the weight bearing through your spine and other joints.
- A muscle strength and length assessment that can pinoint issues related to symptoms of pain and dysfunction.
- A personal exercise routine for you based on the assessment and designed to strengthen weak muscles and lengthen short muscles which can reduce pain, increase flexibility and enhance athletic performance.
- One on one instruction through your personalized routine.
- An illustrated copy of the exercises in your routine for you to use at home.
Your assessment and exercise session will last approximately an hour and a half. A 30 minute follow up session is often very helpful to check on your ability to do the exercise solution with the proper form.
