As the 50+ population grows and ages, there is a significant increase in obesity, chronic disease and medical conditions. A Boomer client may face joint replacement(s), arthritis, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, Parkinson’s, or Alzheimer’s. Often, they are dealing with 2 or more of these medical conditions
Regular physical activity and proper nutrition are accepted strategies to promote and preserve health. There is a huge opportunity for well-educated fitness and allied healthcare professionals to serve as pivotal players in our nation’s healthcare system.
Continuing education in the fitness and wellness industry is important, and professionals working with the medical conditions, chronic disease and seniors must have a higher level of knowledge and skill.
