Fitness and Lifestyle Appraisal

An important part of any successful plan is to start with a benchmark of your current fitness level. With Ecotherapy plans we do both. We test your physical and mental strength and find ways to improve both. Whether you have been training for a marathon or are starting to workout for the first time in 20 years, the information gathered through a mental and physical fitness appraisal helps identify your strengths and weaknesses and helps us design the correct plan for you, to make sure you achieve those goals efficiently and injury free.

These are some of the physical testing protocols as part of your initial consultation:

• Blood pressure, Heart Rate
