We are wishing you a happy and restful #LaborDay! How are you celebrating this holiday weekend?

Deconditioning is what happens when lack of movement or exercise causes our cardiovascular health to decline, and our muscles to weaken over time. While taking a rest day here and there can be beneficial for your health, be sure to stay active this season by walking, riding, or enjoying your favorite sport. If you are experiencing aches and pains due to inactivity, our physical therapists can help. Our skilled staff will formulate a custom treatment plan to help you get moving again!
