Wellness Beyond Therapy
FOX exercise physiologists take functional wellness to the next level. These health professionals administer exercise stress tests to evaluate our patients’ overall health, with special attention to cardiovascular function and metabolism. Based on results, they develop individualized exercise prescriptions to increase physical strength, endurance, flexibility, and balance. These programs help patients with heart disease and other chronic conditions, like diabetes, pulmonary (lung) disease, peripheral vascular disease, and hypertension, to regain their health. Wellness services can be provided individually in the home or in a community-based group setting.

How Exercise Physiology Helps
IMPROVED STRENGTH
Resistance training at a proper dosage can increase muscle mass and improve bone density. FOX EPs provide a proactive, progressive and individualized approach to resistance training.
RESTORED ENDURANCE
Cardiovascular conditioning can increase energy, improve metabolism and reduce pain. These benefits, in turn, enhance quality of life. FOX EPs thoroughly assess and monitor physiological responses to aerobic fitness challenges.
ENHANCED FLEXIBILITY
Stretching programs are proven to enhance ease of movement and reduce joint discomfort. Stretching routines are prescribed by FOX EPs to maintain functional mobility and promote wellbeing.
BETTER BALANCE
EP prescribed balance activities can improve both posture and confidence. They also are shown to prevent falls. FOX EPs employ evidence-based guidelines to properly challenge their aging patients.
