The meaning of our tagline, "Improve Your Life," might seem obvious since our primary service is physical therapy. One of our primary missions is to delivery physical rehabilitation services that help people recover from injuries and surgeries so they can have improved function and quality of life. Another primary mission of Arundel Physical Therapy & Fitness is to motivate our patients and clients to adopt active lifestyle habits. Physical activity has been shown not only to improve physical function, but also to improve brain function, to
reduce stress, and to
improve mood.
Most people are aware of the research studies and articles that support the link between physical activity and decreased risk for major medical problems. However,
exercise may also fight the effects of aging on the brain. Some studies suggest that physical activity may
improve brain function and cognitive performance
in younger people as well. Check out the links above for more information. A quick search on
Google
or
WebMD
will also give many links to articles about the benefits of exercise.

Today, Arundel Physical Therapy & Fitness sponsored the 4th grade classes at St. Jane Frances school in Pasadena, Maryland during their annual Race for Education. The Race for Education is an event that allows local businesses and family members to sponsor t-shirts for each grade. The shirts are color-coded by grade and display the name of the sponsors on the back. The funds raised from the race are used to help the school and it's staff continue to provide an outstanding educational experience and environment for the students.
