event description

Physiotherapists are experts at assessing, planning and implementing exercise programs for overweight and obese individuals. For a beginner to lose weight, start with 50 minutes of exercise a week and extend it incrementally to 200 minutes. Weight management can also aid in decreasing the risk of having chronic conditions such as high/low blood pressure, high cholesterol and arthritis. Come and find out more about how weight reduction is possible through exercises or physiotherapy even at home.
