Regular physical activity is an essential part of healthy living and weight control. The medical weight management curriculum provides guidelines and goals for incorporating physical activity into your lifestyle.
In addition to the exercise instruction included in the medical program, we offer the following supplemental physical activity opportunities:
Health Fitness Assessment
This is an individual session with a physical therapist to evaluate your needs and to show you specific exercises that can be safely done. Suggestions will also be made for physical activities you can incorporate into your daily life. You will be educated on the types of exercise in which you should engage. You will also learn ways you can fit exercise into your day. This session will provide you with a detailed exercise plan.
Group Activity
If you enjoy the motivating atmosphere of a group, then we have just the program for you. On the Move™ is offered at the Washington University physical therapy clinic. On the Move™ strives to help overweight individuals pursue fitness and musculoskeletal health.
