Exercise Prescription & Fitness

Customized Exercise Prescription/Rehab: Each person is unique in their exercise needs. We can help rehabilitate an area of your spine or extremity by prescribing individualized stretching, restorative and strengthening exercises to accompany the treatment plan for a specific condition.

To correct chronic postural misalignments, it is important to correct the specific postural pattern, by stimulating the muscles with dynamic resistance exercises, and to train them in functional positions (upright and weight-bearing postures.) This is called Active Neuromotor Programming. The goal is to train the body via the nervous system to increase core stability and improve spinal function by performing “mirror image” corrective exercises. Dr. Ley will prescribe specific individualized exercises for you in order to promote and reproduce postures of daily living.

Therabands are variable resistance bands that are used to condition, rehab and strengthen muscles in a home setting.

Dr. Ley can show you specific exercise “short-cuts” to help increase athletic performance; power stretches to enhance posture, and can also assess fitness levels by evaluating a patient’s cardiovascular endurance, percent body fat, flexibility and strength.  Your fitness level can be assessed at any visit in order to determine how to help you reach your optimum health and fitness potential.

“I am an avid golfer and was a few days away from an annual golf trip, when I developed lower back pain and spasms.  Dr. Ley’s treatments and prescribed preventive activities alleviated the problem 100%.  I was able to enjoy the golf trip and all activities thereafter, pain free!”

Nutrition

Nutritional Consultations: There is much confusion about what to eat, what foods to avoid, if you should be taking supplements and if so, which ones. What you eat determines how healthy you are. What your body is able to absorb is even more important. Dr. Ley will help evaluate your present eating habits and based on your symptoms, lifestyle and goals will suggest a nutrition plan which may include organic whole food concentrates.

“I started going to Dr. Ley’s Achieve Wellness Center about 3 months ago. I was getting headaches everyday, which seemed to be the result of trauma from a car accident. My headaches have diminished greatly due to the point where they occur very infrequently. Through Dr. Ley’s help and guidance I have also learned many ways where I can improve my health through natural means; proper eating, exercises, and taking natural vitamin supplements. Before I started with Dr. Ley, I had a problem sleeping at night. My sleeping problem has improved. I’m much more relaxed and sleep much better. Her massage therapist, Stephanie, is great. The massages have certainly contributed greatly to my improved health. I would highly recommend both of these women. Dr. Ley is a very smart, kind, compassionate person who really wants to help you achieve wellness.”

Custom Orthotics:

Dr.Ley has added new technology to her office. The Foot Levelers Associate Scanner allows Dr. Ley to scan the feet digitally to screen for imbalances that may be contributing to painful conditions in the feet, ankles, knees, hips and spine. Since the feet are the foundation for the rest of the body, it is important to look there first to add structural support if necessary. If it is determined that you need support in one of the three arches in your feet, custom orthotics can be ordered for you. Many insurance companies reimburse for these supports. If you would like to see if you could benefit from custom orthotics , please call to make an appointment for a complimentary scan.

Homeopathic Remedies

As an alternative to prescription muscle relaxers, and pain relievers, we carry natural homeopathic remedies which are very effective in relieving muscle spasm, muscle tension and promoting overall relaxation.

Theracizer Exercise Bands

As Dr. Ley determines which exercises will enhance your condition or improve your strength, you have the option to choose from a variety of these exercise bands to take with you so you can continue your care at home

Being an avid runner, logging from 30 to 40 miles a week, Dr. Ley also discovered some problems relative to my physical make-up and running style that could be corrected with custom orthotics. She fitted me for the orthotics and after having run with them for several months, I no longer needed ankle braces to help with my Achilles tendonitis and my running shoes are wearing much more evenly.  Dr. Ley also evaluated my workout program and recommended several exercises and nutritional supplements to improve my running recovery and overall fitness.  I recommend Dr. Mary Ann Ley’s services highly and would not consider seeing anyone else."

Standard Process Labs/Anabolic Labs

As a nation, we eat poor-quality foods that have been stripped of nutrients. We do not consume enough fresh fruits and vegetables. Many of us get our whole grains from instant rice, refined wheat breads, pastas, and cereal. We eat a tremendous amount of prepackaged, pre-made meals. One-quarter of Americans eat at fast food restaurants each day. Americans are overfed and undernourished. We eat plenty but we are still starving. The foods we eat are not providing our bodies with the nutrition it needs to survive and be healthy. We are starving our bodies and we are sick. We suffer from diabetes, heart attacks, obesity, and the list goes on and on.

 

There is good news - Given proper nutrition, the human body has an amazing ability to heal itself. If properly fed and given the right nutrients, the human body is designed to repair itself. To do so, we need to eat a healthier diet, exercise, and take high-quality supplements made from whole foods. Whole food supplements supply our bodies with the nutrients we are not getting from our diet; all the vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, and phytonutrients (plant nutrients) that foods possess in a way nature intended - in a whole food form.

 

Only whole food supplements complete the nutritional gap - Whole food supplements are made by concentrating foods for use in supplements. When processed correctly, they supply a multitude of the plant's components. Foods provide nutrients that work synergistically: that is, they work together to provide you with optimal nutrition for good health.

 

A word of advice: Not all whole food supplements are the same - Many whole food supplements available in today's marketplace range in quality. Companies are riding the wave of supplement popularity rather than focusing on commitment and quality.  Visit www.standardprocess.com
