(continued from outside) Unfortunately, there is no 100% sure way to prevent contracting this virus. However, the healthier your body is, the higher your chances are for recovery. The side effects of the virus can cause physical and emotional challenges that can continue for an unknown period of time. That is why it’s so important to stay on top of your overall health and build up your strength, stamina, and immunity. Physical therapy offers many benefits that can strengthen your body and immune system, decrease recovery time and help avoid future complications on the chance that you do contract the virus.

How Does Physical Therapy Keep You Healthy? Next Level Physio’s physical therapists are highly trained to help patients maintain an active lifestyle to provide protection against major health problems, such as stroke, heart attack, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and more. All of these conditions can also cause someone to have a higher risk of contracting COVID-19 as well. A physical therapist can work with you to strengthen muscles and joints, teach you proper breathing exercises to increase your lung function and capacity, as well as guide you through aerobic exercises to improve your pulmonary health.

Our skilled therapists here at Next Level Physio can also help patients improve their stamina and energy levels through the following methods of treatment: • Upper and lower body strengthening exercises to speed up your metabolism • Targeted stretching to prevent heart disease and diabetes • Endurance training to build muscle and maintain stamina • Massage therapy to ease pressure and manage potentially arthritic joints By staying active through physical therapy, you are keeping your immune system strong and warding off health complications. Your physical therapist will be able to address your current condition, assess any medical history you have that suggests you may be at a higher risk for developing disease and illness, and create a customized treatment plan just for you. Your specific treatment programmight involve targeted stretches, manual therapy, exercises, or the use of technology to help strengthen your muscles and improve your overall health. It’s important to be open and honest with your therapist as well; if something is too hard for you, let them know! They’ll be able to adjust it accordingly so that you can accomplish it without adding extra stress on yourself. Whether you’re looking for rehabilitative services, functional improvement, trying to make sure you don’t get sick this year, or you’re in need of recovery services for COVID-19, Next Level Physio can help you achieve your goals.

Exercises of the Month These exercises should be done stand alone or after exercise, but not before.

SINGLE LEG & ARM DEADLIFT Stand on one leg, dumbbell in the opposite hand as the stance leg. Keeping your pelvis facing forward, bend at the hip and move your non-stance leg up and behind you. Your stance knee will bend slightly. Point your toes towards your stance foot to help keep your hips from opening up. From this position, rise up from the hips. Repeat exercise 10 times. Repeat on both sides.

DEEP SQUAT STRETCH Squat deep. Keep your knees behind your toes. Use elbows to push knees wide. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat as needed. This is a great stretch for the groin and for improving your squat mobility.

"Helped shape a workout plan specifically for me!"

123 Broadway Woodcliff Lake, NJ 07677

“Jerry and his team are excellent at everything they do, and they do a lot! I came to Jerry looking for help rehabbing my injured knee, and with summer conditioning for my collegiate rowing season. He not only completely relieved my pain, but also helped shape a workout plan specifically for me that would push me hard every session, and get me ready for the season. The level of commitment to both rehabbing my injury, and helping me achieve my goals as an athlete was amazing!" - T.N.
