Condition Specific Exercise Programs

Structural Strength designs customized programs for those with specific conditions that fit each individual's needs. While exercise can be beneficial for anyone, people with chronic conditions can significantly improve their health and manage their symptoms by following a program that is specifically designed for them. We design programs for clients with a wide variety of conditions such as neurological disorders to chronic pain, joint replacements and torn muscles, tendons and ligaments as well as many other conditions.

Neurological Disorders

Clients with neurological disorders such as MS or Parkinson's can greatly benefit from an exercise program that focuses on improving gait, balance, tremors, flexibility, grip strength and motor coordination and even reversal of muscle wasting. New research suggests shows a link between reduction of exercise and muscle disuse and metabolism in the brain and that weight bearing physical activity of the lower limbs is essential for the production and maintenance of healthy neural cells needed for the brain and nervous system. Cutting back on exercise makes it difficult for the body to produce new nerve cells, some of the very building blocks that allow us to handle stress and adapt to challenge in our lives.We utilize a technology that increases communication from the brain to muscles in our programs.

Chronic Soft Tissue Pain

Many times long after an injury occurs, the soft tissue still elicits a protective response so the surrounding musculature cant activate or lengthen like it should. The goal is to eliminate knots (myofascial trigger points), adhesions and the build up of scar tissue in the soft tissue that has created compensation patterns in the body. Our program specifically focuses on removing the self-imposed blocks and restoring function.  We re-train the brain neurologically to allow the body to move like it is indented to, without pain.

Joint Replacements

Exercise after joint replacement surgery is paramount in healing the joint and having it function at an optimum level. We can design a program so that the surrounding tissue can heal and recover at a faster rate without putting any external load on the joint itself. We have seen clients recover 50-75% faster with our program.

We will require a medical release from your physician to make sure you are cleared to exercise.
