“People typically lower their risks of heart disease and premature death far more by gaining fitness than by dropping weight.”  ~ Obesity treatment: Weight loss versus increasing fitness and physical activity for reducing health risks (iScience)

The Wellness Program @ SMTC integrates physical therapy and fitness services with SMTC’s partners at McDaniel Nutrition Therapy and SIUE Exercise Physiology Lab. We offer a comprehensive approach to meaningful lifestyle changes for our St. Louis area clients.  Work with our exercise physiologists, dietitians, and physical therapists to improve nutrition, physical fitness, overall wellness, and receive health counseling, in collaboration with medical guidance from your physician.

Our health and wellness team provides friendly, welcoming, and professional guidance and is a valued resource for our clients!

How it Works:

Wellness @ SMTC is a half-year or full-year comprehensive individualized program based on your goals, needs and physician recommendations (if requested). Once you have enrolled, you will be assigned a wellness liaison who will start with a physical assessment and discussion regarding your wellness goals. Your liaison will oversee your program, connecting you with other healthcare professionals to address your dietary needs, as well as assess body composition and bone density.

After gathering this baseline information, we’ll work with you and other members of our wellness team to develop a plan to address your needs and goals, and then guide you along the way as you walk your wellness journey! The Wellness @ SMTC staff provides consistent contact, accountability and follow through on your wellness plan and we will send objective and measurable data to your physician three times a year, if requested.

Your health is your wealth! Now is the time to invest in yourself, and start your fitness, nutrition and health journey today!
