We bridge the gap between healthcare and fitness.
Have you been injured? Have you had some type of surgery? Has your insurance stopped paying for physical therapy, but you haven't recovered yet? Do you have a special need? Reso-Care is a company that provides fitness programs after rehab that decrease the chances of reinjury, in addition to working on the muscles and joints around the injured area.
When you go to rehab, you only get so many sessions with your physical therapist. The physical or occupational therapist is trained to treat the injured area and rehabilitate it back to normal use. After your sessions run out, then what do you do? You’re left out in the cold, and chances are you’re back in rehab again. You need addition help, whether you realize it or not. Reso-Care bridges the gap between rehab and regular activity.
Our goal is to take over where your doctor or therapists left off with your treatment. We will work closely with these healthcare professionals to establish the appropriate protocol and we'll keep them well-informed during your entire post-rehab treatment.

Why Reso-Care?
For orthopedic injuries, the first thirty days are typically devoted to physical therapy with care focused upon the reduction of pain. Only after the patient is comfortable are "stabilization" exercises initiated to restore the injured area; even in these late stages of rehabilitation, care is focused exclusively upon pain and the injured area.
We now know that the heart and the other large muscles rapidly deteriorate following an injury. Since most of us merely exist on the edge of not being sick, we can't afford to become even weaker with less tolerance for physical endurance or strength. This is such a critical problem that cost containment for workers' compensation or health care may not be possible without addressing the problem of physical fitness and general conditioning.
