Physical Therapists Bring New Health Coaching Program to Columbus Ohio

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Oct. 29, 2013 - PRLog -- Active Physical Therapy, a locally owned Columbus, Ohio private practice, has developed the cutting-edge Active Health Coaching Program to promote health and wellness at an affordable cost. Widespread changes to the U.S. healthcare system is requiring consumers to change the way they think about staying healthy. “There's no doubt healthcare premiums are going up over the next year” said Director of Physical Therapy Services Dr. Ray VanWye. “Consumers need to start planning now and be as proactive in their healthcare choices as possible. Health coaching is smart healthcare; you control the care you receive and the cost.”

“Health coaching is more than just personal training,” says Dr. VanWye. He explains that health coaches have extensive training in all dimensions of wellness, including helping those who are in good health and those with a known disease or a chronic condition. “Health coaches must be extremely knowledgeable in numerous healthcare areas in order to provide one-on-one counseling and education for life-long wellness. This includes education in exercise physiology, diet and nutrition, as well as training in cardiopulmonary, neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, and biopsychosocial health.”

"We are very proud of our new Active Health Coaching Program,” said Dr. VanWye. “We are well ahead of the curve with this initiative. So many claim to provide healthcare, but really they only provide treatment for illness, with very little regard for health.”

Membership rates start at $100 per month and include weekly visits with your health coach and a monthly therapeutic massage.
