More emphasis is being given to the percent of body fat, rather than weight, as a measurement of health risk. But, at the end of the day, you probably want a smaller dress size or flatter belly as part of your overall goal.
Downtown Integrative Health Group integrates the weight loss benefits of acupuncture into our health goals program options. In addition, our naturopath can design a specific diet for you and our exercise specialist can develop a program that fits your fitness level. Our chiropractors and massage therapists can respond to the biomechanical changes of significant weight loss by maintaining joint and muscle health in the spine, hips and legs and feet. Custom orthotics helps a heavier person reduce the loads on their joints during the early stages of exercise and can be re-refitted once your new weight stabilizes.
For most people, basic changes in eating and exercise patterns will do the job. If you need more, we are here to help.
