Fox Exercise Physiology

Wellness Beyond Therapy

FOX exercise physiologists take functional wellness to the next level. These health professionals administer exercise stress tests to evaluate our patients’ overall health, with special attention to cardiovascular function and metabolism. Based on results, they develop individualized exercise prescriptions to increase physical strength, endurance, flexibility, and balance. These programs help patients with heart disease and other chronic conditions, like diabetes, pulmonary (lung) disease, peripheral vascular disease, and hypertension, to regain their health. Wellness services can be provided individually in the home or in a community- based group setting.
