What is the AIR Wellness Program?
AIR Wellness Program
The purpose of the AIR Wellness program is to introduce a more active lifestyle, through exercise, to those individuals who are unfamiliar with how to begin exercising and/or those who have medical conditions that need professional assistance to begin exercising. We may communicate with the primary care physician in consideration of any medical conditions that may restrict certain exercises including: diabetes, hypertension, arthritis or others. We will work with your primary care physician as necessary during the program.
A Physical Therapist will work with the individual one-on-one 1-3 times per week for several weeks (if necessary) until the individual can safely transition to an independent exercise program.
Does Insurance Cover AIR Wellness?
- Physical therapy for muscle/joint pain related to obesity, arthritis and other conditions is covered by most major health plans.
- AIR maintains partnerships with many insurance providers and local employers who offer full or partial coverage of gym memberships.
Who can benefit from AIR Wellness?
AIR Wellness is designed for individuals, of any age, with medical or physical challenges that may limit or prevent traditional exercise programs such as: obesity, cardiac history, arthritis, hypertension, joint or muscle pain, and certain traumatic injuries.
Candidates for this program may simply want to feel better, but don’t know where to start. For them, AIR Wellness can serve as a motivating introduction to a healthier more active lifestyle.
