Physical therapists are exercise experts and consistent exercise is extremely important for the human body to stay healthy and active. Proper exercise enables us to excel athletically and reverse the effects of our day to day grind. A well-tailored exercise program will unlock your potential and keep you feeling energized.

With all the demands on your body from work and play, it is imperative that you find a balance to the stress in your life.  Are you a student athlete sitting for hours in class and then asked to compete at the end of the day?  Or are you sitting at a desk all day but want to play a round of golf without pain?  Either way,  you need help.  An exercise program specific to your needs is a crucial component to meet your goals. 

Exercise that is prescribed directly for an individuals needs is highly effective and has quick results.  But often you will find this critical part of restoring your well-being passed off to under qualified aides or support personnel.  Not here at QLife PT and Wellness.  You get individualized programs with professional attention to every repetition.
