Exercise is Medicine™ Program
A simple "prescription" for taking charge of your health.
The Exercise is Medicine program was launched by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the American Medical Association (AMA). The objective of the program is to make physical exercise a standard part of disease prevention and treatment in the US.
Physical activity and exercise are important to your health and to the prevention — and treatment — of many problems, disorders and chronic conditions. At Physical Therapy Works in Suffolk and Smithfield, Virginia, we’re proud to provide doctors a simple process for prescribing the medical exercise so many patients need and for which we are trained, knowledgeable and experienced. We assess the patient, design a tailored exercise program and monitor the patient’s safety and progress. In other words, we make it easy for physicians to help their patients live an active, healthy life.
Physicians will simply write a "prescription" for exercise and refer patients to FIT Works for a free consultation.
