We all have aches and pains from time to time, but depending on your overall health, age and physical capability, formal medicine is often not enough. Patients are being overmedicated with prescriptions and receiving unnecessary procedures. Many physicians do not completely understand the importance of exercise and the optimal benefits that it has on countless illness, symptoms and disorders.
These physicians will prescribe or recommend that patients exercises for an hour a day 5 to 7 times per week, but that is a difficult task for most people. This unwarranted advice is not well received, and more importantly, it is some times counterintuitive.
ExerMedic is a program that was developed, based on 35 years of experience and precise comprehensive scientific research. It is the most productive, non-invasive, non-medicine, medically approved, physical program in existence. ExerMedic works with and is recommended by many physicians that understand the program and suggest it to their patients for better physical outcomes.
EXERMEDIC CAN HELP WITH OSTEOPOROSIS
Osteoporosis is when bones become weak and are more susceptible to fractures. The symptoms of your osteoporosis are not normally visible unless you have a fracture. You may not even know that you have the disease until you break a bone, or a test shows that you have low bone mineral density (DEXA Scan). And if you’ve had one broken bone due to osteoporosis, your risk for having another goes up significantly.
Bone weakening is a common problem associated with aging. In most people, some time during their 30s, bone mass will begin to gradually decline. For women, that bone loss can significantly speed up during the first 10 years after menopause. Those with osteoporosis are at increased risk of height loss, fractures of the hips, wrists, and vertebrae and chronic pain.
Involvement in an ExerMedic program provides sufficient weight bearing activity to significantly increase bone density. Bones react to the exercise the same way muscles do. Sufficient stress is
placed on them so they must grow stronger to withstand the same weight the next time. This is best accomplished through a program that is done in a safe, controlled environment with direct supervision. By participating in a consistent strengthtraining program at ExerMedic, you are assured that your bones will be as strong as they possibly can be to prevent problems with osteoporosis.
EXERMEDIC CAN ELIMINATE
OR REDUCE BACK PAIN
80 percent of adults will fall victim to painful disorders of their lower backs at some point in their lives. It is the most common cause of disability for people under the age of 45, and second only to the common cold as a cause for a visit to the doctor.
Back disorders account for nearly a third of the occupational injuries involved in lost work time.
A healthy and strong lower back is critical for virtually every activity of normal daily living, like sitting, squatting, lifting and walking. The lower back takes a lot of strain and stress during daily activities.
A variety of factors can cause lower back problems, such as genetic predisposition, old age, disuse and injury. Over time, the loss of muscle mass, bone mass, and strength in the lower back occurs. As the strength in the lumbar muscles fades, the force of gravity overwhelms the muscular support structure, and as a result, the spaces between the vertebrae start to narrow.
Improving the strength of the lumbar muscles and connective soft tissues has long been recognized by orthopedists, chiropractors, and physical therapists as the cornerstone of low back rehabilitation. There is no doubt that regular strength training of the lumbar spine will both prevent and resolve lower back pain.
The challenge is how to accomplish this goal.
The lumbar muscles can only effectively be isolated using a lumbar extension machine. Lumbar extension machines are designed with a series of restraints that prevent tilting of the pelvis, rotation around the hip joints, or contribution from the big and strong muscles of the buttocks and thighs, that would interfere with the work of the low back muscles. These machines are a staple to the Exermedic program. Great results are accomplished with comprehensive lumbar extension therapy.
