Resistance training (strength training) isn’t just for the gym — it’s a key part of rehab and long-term function. When done safely and progressively, it can improve strength, mobility, balance, and confidence across many diagnoses and age groups.
Some conditions that benefit from resistance training include:
• Post-stroke recovery
• Parkinson’s disease
• Multiple sclerosis (MS)
• Osteoarthritis & joint pain
• Rotator cuff tears & shoulder impingement
• Low back pain
• Post-surgical rehab (joint replacements, fractures)
• Fall prevention & general deconditioning
