Exercise prescription and rehabilitation are essential in managing various conditions at any age. After an assessment, Prospect Podiatry can give you a customized program tailored to your needs, monitor your progress, or just a simple program, depending on your needs.

Athletic Injuries

The tissue stress model explains that overuse injuries occur when the amount of stress through a tissue exceeds its capacity.

Rather than Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation, the modern approach is more about keeping people active while recovering from injury and enhancing their recovery. How much activity is too much, and what you can do to protect the injured area is always the question

While there is no best exercise for certain conditions, it is essential to understand how to manage exercise by modifying the number of reps and sets, speed, weight, and range of movement, among other factors, to achieve the desired outcome.

Aging

Exercise and rehabilitation go beyond people with athletic injuries. Muscle mass decreases by approximately 3-8% per decade after age 30, and this rate of decline is even higher after age 60. Loss in muscle mass is known as sarcopenia and is related to osteopenia. The best way to slow this process down is through exercise. We provide advice on exercises appropriate for your age.

Surgery

A graded exercise program significantly enhances recovery from foot surgery. It uses the same principles that apply to athletic injuries to protect the site of surgery/injury while continuing to be active within your capability, which will vary depending on your surgery/injury and age.
