My name is Becky Williams. I am a Physical Therapist and Personal Trainer, with a special interest in helping individuals get back in shape -- 50 to 100 years old. I have worked for over 25 years in a variety of settings, including rehabilitation, acute care, nursing homes, outpatient clinics, and home health. I have realized that many patients that are discharged home with a home program never really get "back to normal," and become less active over time, either because they lack the strength or endurance, or because fear of falling keeps them from becoming active again. I have decided to offer my services as a Physical Therapist/ Personal Trainer, to help older adults live a more healthy life, or middle aged adults get back in shape.
As we get older, several things happen, unless we intervene in the process. We become less flexible, our strength decreases, and our balance slowly becomes worse. Our bones get thinner, we are afraid to do as much because our balance is not as good; we slow down because we get more tired, which causes us to get weaker. It is a vicious cycle that I have seen happen many times in my 25+ years treating patients. But it doesn't have to happen like that. Exercise is of the utmost importance in maintaining good health. We are living longer, but the quality of living is the important issue.
I have seen both ends of the scale - 70 year old people who could barely walk to 90+ year old people who are still living alone, and functioning well. The key to aging is keeping fit. The hard part is making yourself exercise on a regular basis. I am interested in helping you develop good exercise habits.
I will structure an exercise program and assist you with maintaining your strength, flexibility, and balance so that you can enjoy your golden years. I will do one-on-one exercise programs with you in your home. I can tailor programs to fit each individual, and accommodate any existing problems.
