Get Your Wellness Back
on Track with a
CORE Reconditioning Program
Reap the benefits of a team
approach to wellness.
Every single one of us has had our lives disrupted since COVID arrived. We’ve been stuck at home, doing our best to keep up with exercise, nutrition and stress management. But even with our best efforts to stay on track - - we’re feeling stuck, exhausted and worst of all, experiencing pain.
Now that we are four months into this new reality, integrating a fitness practice back into our lives is a must.
With CORE’s Reconditioning Program you will develop a new sustainable wellness plan that integrates mind-body movement with expert physical therapy. Your plan and your team will keep you accountable so you can resolve pain and get back on track.
You know now – more than ever – your fitness is a key piece of your overall wellness plan, and you deserve to feel your best.
Getting on track is a challenge. Expert guidance and physical care can help you get back to feeling your best.
