Unlock Your Goals with Our New Healthy Weight Loss Program
How you eat, sleep, think, and feel can all influence your progress toward your physical therapy goals. That’s why 360 Physical Therapy has teamed up with Vori Health—an award-winning medical practice specializing in holistic muscle and joint care—to support healthy weight loss.
With the support of a dedicated health coach and nutritionist, you’ll learn how to create healthy habits that stick using a mindfulness-based approach that helps you transform more than a number.
And the program is all done through video visits, so you can make great progress from the comfort of your home.
Why your weight matters
Carrying extra pounds can cause or contribute to muscle and joint pain. For instance, “every 10 extra pounds of weight places an additional 30 to 60 pounds of pressure on your knees,” says Jim Fiechtl, MD, a physician at Vori Health.
Extra weight can also increase inflammation in your body, zap your energy, and leave you feeling less like yourself. These are all reasons why weight loss combined with physical therapy treatment is a winning combination in treating muscle and joint pain.
Furthermore, individuals with a body mass index over 30 (clinical obesity), are at increased risk of other serious health problems such as:
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Type 2 diabetes
• Heart disease
• Stroke
• Sleep apnea and breathing problems
• Cancer
• Depression and anxiety
Benefits of healthy weight loss
Even a small change in your weight can make a huge impact. Research shows benefits of healthy weight loss (one to two pounds per week) include the:
• Lowered risk of serious chronic diseases
• Decreased pressure on your joints
• Energy boost
• Stronger immunity
• Brighter moods
• More confidence
