How Prescribe FIT Can Improve Your Overall Health

How Prescribe FIT Can Improve Your Overall Health

Sports injuries and other injuries involving your joints and bones can take a toll on your mobility and quality of life. While prompt medical care is essential for healing, it’s also important to make lifestyle changes that can help relieve pain, improve mobility, and ensure you enjoy better overall wellness.

At Performance Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine in Toms River, Shrewsbury, and Wall Township, New Jersey, David Dickerson, MD, and Shawn Denning, DNP, offer the innovative Prescribe FIT® program designed especially for orthopedic patients, promoting better mobility and faster recovery following injuries or surgery. Here’s how it could help you.

Quick facts about Prescribe FIT

Because orthopedic injuries involve your musculoskeletal system — your bones, joints, muscles, and related components — even a simple injury can have a major impact on your lifestyle and health. Prescribe FIT features activities you complete at home and on your own to speed healing and support overall health and wellness.

Prescribe FIT emphasizes the interrelationship among healthy behaviors and their impact on both your physical health and your emotional well-being. Each Prescribe FIT program begins with a health assessment and evaluation that forms the basis of your custom plan.

You’ll work closely with your dedicated care coach through weekly phone calls focused on optimizing and adjusting your plan to suit your evolving needs. You’ll also receive ongoing support to help you stay on track, embrace new healthy behaviors, and ultimately reach your goals. 

Because injury prevention and recovery depend on maintaining a healthy weight, you’ll also receive a Bluetooth scale that pairs with a smart device. The scale helps your coach and your provider monitor your progress and adjust your plan with truly personalized recommendations.

Benefits of Prescribe FIT

Prescribe FIT is completely customizable and designed to suit your unique needs, with ongoing monitoring and check-ins to keep your plan on track. Plus, its approach to lifestyle fitness ensures your plan integrates seamlessly into your lifestyle, making it easier to stay motivated.

Because Prescribe FIT uses a holistic approach, it improves your overall wellness in addition to treating orthopedic issues. In fact, Prescribe FIT can offer plenty of benefits for people with chronic medical issues, like diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and heart disease, in addition to those with weight concerns.

With an emphasis on realistic goals for healthy eating and physical activity, Prescribe FIT can improve your natural energy levels, relieve chronic stress, and support better sleep habits. Together, these benefits can improve mental wellness by decreasing symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Finally, Prescribe FIT is designed to support lifelong behavior changes focused on supporting lasting, meaningful adjustments for your lifestyle and overall wellness. By integrating wellness activities with your everyday routines, you’ll find it’s easier than you think to lead the healthy lifestyle you deserve.
