Take a look at some of the health conditions we can help with
Alzheimer's Disease
Being active can help people with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia (ADRD) feel better, move better and sleep better.Regular physical activity helps those with ADRD develop better strength, balance, walking speed
and endurance. It also reduces physical decline and preserves day-to-day function, including
sleeping habits. When people with ADRD become active, safety is a priority.
Aneurysm
Exercise can reducesome of the major risk factors for aneurysms such as high blood pressure, obesity and inflammation.
Physical activity can:
• lower inflammation that might help slow the growth of an aneurysm
• improve the strength of your blood vessel walls
• lower your blood pressure
• help you maintain a healthy weight
Asthma
Asthma causes narrowing of the airways that can lead to shortness of breath, wheezing, chesttightness and coughing. Being active reduces how bad and how often asthma attacks occur, resulting in fewer emergency room visits and less worry. As you become more fit, you will be less out-of-breath
during activity.
Atrial Fibrillation
People with atrial fibrillation (AF) who are more fit have fewer of the bad consequences related to their AF. Being active also reduces risk factors that lead to heart attacks, strokes, or more serious heart rhythm problems. Regular physical activity can increase your energy level and stamina,improving your ability to do the daily and fun activities you enjoy.
People with AF can exercise safely and will benefit greatly from medium-intensity physical activity.
Bleeding Disorders
Many people with bleeding disorders limit their physical activity. This increases their risk of developing heart problems, obesity and diabetes. Regular physical activity can actually lower thenumber of bleeding episodes and the amount of bleeding (and related pain). Being active can also help
your treatment and medications work better. If you’d like better fitness and health, stronger muscles, improved coordination and a healthy body weight, get moving!
Blood Lipid Disorders
The American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology recommend physical activity as an important lifestyle therapy for treating blood lipid disorders and reducing heart disease risk.The most commonly measured blood lipids are low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL or bad
cholesterol), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL or good cholesterol) and triglycerides. Routine physical activity can help raise HDL-C and lower LDL-C and triglycerides in many people.
Cancer
Being active during and after a cancer diagnosis is an important way to reduce fatigue, increase strength and help ease depression. Regularphysical activity, including aerobic activity and strength training, can help you get through your treatments and decrease treatment side effects. In addition, stretching can help restore flexibility in joints that have lost range of motion due to surgery or radiation.
