Firsthealth of Andover delivers a full range of complimentary medical services along with training, guidance, and education. We believe that facilitating to our patients a safe and effective transition from post-rehabilitation back into a gym setting will benefit not only the patient, but the "Health Club Owners" as well.

Statistics support that lack of education, and injuries among members contribute to higher attrition rates in health clubs. A deconditioned individual who is re-entering a gym setting or someone coming back from a recently healed injury is more likely to get hurt without proper guidance, and is therefore much more likely to cancel his/her membership.

We practitioners at FirstHealth are offering an integrative program transitioning our deconditioned and post-rehabilitative patients from their treatment protocol back into the gym setting. Because we are familiar with their treatment plan, it is a natural and safe progression for the patient. Because of the decreased likelihood of re-injury, the new member is less likely to cancel his/her health club membership.

Ask us about our "back to the gym" program and let us help you get back on track to your fitness program safely and effectively.
