Functional Health Initiative - Okotoks, AB
"The key to maintaining or regaining our health, is taking responsibility and initiative."
Maintaining Muscle Strength & Function
Muscle strength and function are crucial for longevity and overall health, playing a significant role in both life expectancy and healthy aging.
Building Stronger Bones
In order to prevent and reverse osteoporosis we must take the time to understand why we lose bone density and strength, stop accepting bone loss as normal and work to restore bone metabolism.
Cardiorespiratory & Vascular Health
Cardiorespiratory fitness, as measured by maximal oxygen uptake has been shown to be a strong and independent predictor of all-cause mortality. When your VO2max is above the 50th percentile for your age & gender, your risk for all-cause mortality drops by 200%.
