Blue Ridge Physical Therapy
Warrenton, VA
SITUATION:
The goal of Blue Ridge Orthopedic Associates (BROA) is to deliver the highest standard of care and individualized attention to each and every patient who seeks our help. BROA has some of the best-trained and most experienced physicians in the fields of Sports Medicine, Orthopedic Surgery, Pain Management, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. They are experts at diagnosing and treating orthopedic injuries and disorders. To achieve its mission of providing the highest standard of care and individual attention, BROA turned to Heartline to upgrade the company’s stable of fitness equipment.
SOLUTION:
Working with BROA’s rehab specialist, Andy Dart, three Paramount multi-functional strength pieces were chosen—seated leg extension/leg curl combo, a lat pull/low row combo, and Paramount’s new Functional Trainer. Paramount’s functional trainer was a no-brainer since it required minimal floor space, and is such a versatile machine in terms of the number of exercises that can be performed, and the variety of ways it can be used. The user can perform exercises from the floor, from a bench, from a standing position, using a gym ball, or from a wheelchair. Additionally, given the functional trainer’s two weight stack design, the rehab specialist is able to vary the load on one extremity (arm or leg) versus the other--an important ingredient in any rehab or performance training program.
