Everyone desires to be healthier, stronger, and more active. This may sometimes feel difficult to accomplish, due to pain, injuries, or poor diets. Pain increases undesirable chemicals in your body that cause stress, creating a challenge when it comes to exercise. All of this also affects your endocrine system, which regulates your hormones and controls almost everything happening in your body.
For some, fitness is already a big part of their daily routine, while others are overwhelmed at the thought of exercise and do not know where or how to start a fitness routine. We will meet you where you are, and work to develop a fitness plan that meets your wants, needs, and goals!
Fortunately, fitness assessments and training exercises can effectively ease your pain while simultaneously strengthening the affected part(s) of your body. Our highly trained physical therapists in Overland Park, KS can create a personalized strength training program for your needs and goals. They have the right knowledge and the time to listen, evaluate, and guide you toward a pain-free, stronger, and healthier lifestyle.

How will a fitness assessment benefit me?
There are approximately 642 skeletal muscles in the body. This means that your strength and flexibility play an important role in your health. Your muscles not only help you move, but they support your circulatory and breathing systems. A stronger and more flexible you means a healthier you. Relieving joint or muscle pain and guiding you on proper strength training exercises are integral parts of our specialized fitness training programs.
Fitness training helps in building muscle mass, and it can also be used as a final step in a rehabilitation treatment process. Therefore, fitness training doesn’t just have to be for people who are already in good shape – if you are recovering from an injury or underlying condition that is causing you pain, fitness training will help you get back to your optimum physical performance.

At College Park Physical Therapy, our goal is to help you start or return to a fitness training program that will help you live the active and healthy lifestyle you want. Each patient is different on where they are and what they hope to achieve from their fitness regime. Our physical therapists will consider your medical history and current fitness levels, to design a treatment plan focused on the best exercises for effectively reaching your goals.
These exercises will be dependent upon which part(s) of your body are in need of training. This may include body weight exercises (such as squats, push-ups, or planks) or exercises using additional tools (such as barbells, resistance bands, exercise balls, or hand weights). Cardiovascular fitness is also important and has many health benefits!
