Combining principles from Lifestyle medicine and Medical fitness, in addition to our physical therapy background, our Silver Fox Wellness Club was designed to help you be healthy! Let’s look at some fast facts about aging and physical activity:

  • According to CDC, did you know that…
    • only half of all adults get the physical activity that they need to help reduce and prevent chronic diseases?
    • about 1 in 2 adults live with a chronic disease, and about half of this group have 2 or more?
    • $117 billion in annual healthcare costs are associated with inadequate physical activity?
    • getting enough physical activity could prevent 1 in 10 premature deaths? It could also prevent cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
  • According to a Mayo Clinic study, only 2.7% of all adults had all 4 of the following healthy lifestyle characteristics: being sufficiently active, eating a healthy diet, being a non-smoker, and having a recommended body fat percentage (Healthy Lifestyle Characteristics and Their Joint Association With Cardiovascular Disease Biomarkers in US Adults, Loprinzi, Paul D. et al. Mayo Clinic Proceedings, Volume 91, Issue 4, 432-442) 

“If you could package physical activity into a pill, it would be the most effective drug on the market” –Dr. Ruth Peterson Director of CDC’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity (DNPAO)

  • Other benefits of physical activity for healthy aging as listed by CDC include:
    • Improves sleep
    • Reduces risk of falling
    • Improves balance
    • Improves joint mobility
    • Extends years of active life
    • Helps prevent weak bones and muscle loss
    • Delays onset of cognitive decline

Trigger Point Dry Needling

20 minute session- $40

Trigger Point Dry Needling is a technique used for the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments. A trigger point is a local contracture or tight band in a muscle fiber that can disrupt function, restrict range of motion, refer pain or cause local tenderness. When dry needling is applied to a dysfunctional muscle or trigger point, it can decrease banding or tightness, increase blood flow, and reduce local and referred pain. The certified therapist uses a “dry” needle (one without medication or injection) inserted through the skin into the muscle and works directly on the painful trigger points in the muscles. The needles are very thin (the width of a human hair), and the placement breaks the pain/spasm/dysfunction cycle. Dry needling can be incorporated into a physical therapy plan of care as the therapist deems appropriate, or can be performed as a stand alone treatment out of pocket. Dry needling can cause minor soreness for a day or two but is usually not painful. Many patients feel immediate relief with treatment, and it has been shown to be effective in treating a wide variety of musculoskeletal issues, such as shoulder, neck, heel, hip,and back pain. Current research indicates dry needling is a safe and effective approach for treating and managing pain. (Mayo Clinic)
