WE AT DMK FITNESS BELIEVE THAT:

Services1

Advanced exercise training of patients/clients who have survived critical illness, trauma or joint replacement can counteract negative, self-perpetuating conditions of weakness, fatigue, and functional impairment that limit mobilization and impede return to normalcy. The social interaction provided by mainstreaming these patients/clients into a health and fitness center alters their perceptions of their own potential. Moreover, cycles of positive reinforcement develop as patients/clients see other similarly de-conditioned clients making significant progress.

 

Progress depends on the client’s effort and cooperation in and outside of the training session. DMK Fitness, LLC operates on a prescheduled appointment basis, and thus require a twenty-four (24) hour cancellation notice before scheduled appointment. No charge will be levied. If an appointment is cancelled LESS than the 24 hours required a charge will be levied for that appointment. There are exceptions to the cancellation policy such as medical/dental emergencies, death in the family, etc. It is the client’s responsibility to inform the Exercise Specialist of any conditions or changes to one’s health, on ongoing basis, which might affect one’s ability to exercise safely and with minimal risk of injury.

ENJOY OPTIMUM QUALITY OF LIFEServices3

Physical training has profound effects on three major life domains: physical, mental, and psychosocial functioning. The physical benefits of training are self-evident, including improvement in gait, balance, strength, flexibility, and endurance. Improvements in cognitive function are seen in the realms of memory, concentration, and focus, among others. Dedication to training and the effort exerted improves energy and attention, ultimately enhancing cognitive ability. Finally, engagement in a health-promoting social environment facilitates positive interpersonal relations, fosters goals, and deters feelings of dependence or helplessness. Our belief is that intensive physical training with deliberate safe progression is a logical extension of the continuum of rehabilitation following critical illness and trauma, should be viewed as an essential component of critical care. Neuromuscular and muscular-skeletal diseases also greatly benefit from this same approach.

Our team of experts is here to assist each individual client to meet his or her goals and to enjoy optimum quality of life.
