Physical therapy is a form of health care that prevents, identifies, corrects, or alleviates acute or prolonged movement dysfunction or pain of anatomic or physiologic origin.
WHY STRENGTH MATTERS
There are essentially four different categories of exercise, and, according to the National Institute on Aging (NIA), participation in all four types is necessary for full health benefits: endurance / aerobics, strength training / weight lifting, balance, and stretching / flexibility.
The NIA states that strength-training / weight-lifting exercises should be performed two to three days per week with a rest day between sessions. Strength training activities should include exercises for all major muscle groups – shoulders, arms, chest, abdomen, back, hips, and legs.
