Exercise Medicine

Exercise medicine is the use of physical activity as a tool to prevent, manage, and treat various health conditions. It recognizes exercise as a powerful, evidence-based intervention that can improve cardiovascular health, control weight, enhance mental well-being, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension. Healthcare professionals incorporate tailored exercise programs into treatment plans, emphasizing that regular physical activity is a vital component of overall health, much like medication or diet. It promotes a proactive approach to maintaining and improving health through movement and physical activity.
