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.
