Health Benefits Of Walking

Walking can be highly beneficial for health, especially at certain ages. Whatsmore, varying your walking can allow for meaningful exercise for those looking to increase their health. For you, a podiatrist in Port Washington, such as PRINE Health, can help create a solid exercise or physical therapy plan that includes walking.

Walking For Physical Therapy

Walking for physical therapy is going to be very different than walking for mere exercise. Walking for physical therapy is often done with less intensity to promote healing. In this instance, walking might be done to balance or function the legs. Therefore, walking for physical therapy or as part of a physical therapy regimen might be heavily recommended post-surgery or post-injury. Walking can increase flexibility by using a podiatrist's exercise plan in Port Washington. This would enable tendons and ligaments to bend more under stress and allow for the full range of motion.

Walking For Exercise

Walking for exercise should be done with more haste and intensity than physical therapy. The goal is to burn calories and build strength. Therefore, walking with the intent of exercising can be done via working out in a gym or on your own. Pro-tip: running sneakers and a high school track are a low-cost option! Another way to increase the utility of walking is to increase the incline. Even if you go slightly slower, walking up a hill or increasing the incline on a treadmill might be more strenuous. Not only is this going to burn much more calories, but it will also help increase strength in your legs and aid in losing weight - a general plus for many illnesses that might be made better or worse with weight changes.

Besides the above, walking can also be a social activity. In fact, it is actually possible to prevent or manage certain serious conditions like heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, cancer and type 2 diabetes. If you are injured or had surgery, or even just want to start walking, contact PRINE Health today to learn more about our services and see how we can help!

Patient Experience

As a patient of Dr. David Sands for over 15 years. He is professional, patient, knowledgeable and uses the latest technology when treating his patients, something that other doctors are not. I highly recommend him if you have issues with your feet.

Kristen R.

Dr. Alec Hochstein takes patients from start to finish when it comes to wound care. He is not satisfied until the wound is completely healed. His methods of treatment for non-healing diabetic ulcers is notable. I approached Dr. Hochstein in August of 2014, with a persistent non-healing Diabetic Ulcer. The Ulcer was deep and rather large, To date the Ulceration is microscopic thanks to the wound care treatment that was received. I'm able to live a Happy and Healthy Life thanks to Dr. Alec Hochstein and his team of employees. I highly recommend this provider for any foot care or wound care needs.

Melissa K.

Dr. Sands is an outstanding Podiatrist. He is professional, courteous, a gentleman and extremely interested in the health of his patients. David is most accommodating and doesn't make patients wait a long time to be seen. His office staff is equally as polite and welcoming and they all run a 5 Star practice.

My son had an ingrown toenail and we needed an urgent appointment. We were seen on the same day. The receptionists were very welcoming and friendly and we saw the doctor within a few minutes. The doctor was friendly, competent, diagnosed the problem correctly, and operated very diligently. Extremely pleased and highly recommended.
