Wentworth-Douglass Center for Weight Management
Weight loss can be an essential component of improving your joint pain and increasing your activity. Weight loss can make a big enough difference in arthritic knee pain that it may be all you need to do! The Center for Weight Management has a team of obesity medicine physicians, dietitians, and health coaches to get the guidance you need for successful weight management. They can work with you to achieve your goals.
The Center for Athletes
Experienced Certified Athletic Trainers work closely with the Physical Therapists at Marsh Brook Rehab to help anyone meet their fitness goals. I find that my patients who take advantage of CFA as they transition out of physical therapy maximize their surgical outcomes and finish ready to fully return to their activities.
Smoking Cessation at Wentworth-Douglass
We all know that quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do for your overall health. It may also be one of the most important things you can do to maximize your chance of an excellent surgical outcome. Among other things, smoking decreases the chances of a successful rotator cuff repair, makes it more likely that broken bones won’t heal and carries an increased risk of post operative infection and stiffness after total knee replacement.
The Works
Excellent center for maintaining health and fitness. The Works has specific programs designed for post rehab patients to continue their journey to full function.
