Why Kutthaus Fitness?
At Kutthaus Fitness, you’re not just being coached by professionals with a passion in all things health and fitness, but you’re being led by two owners who have a combined 25 years of Physical Therapy practice with individuals after joint replacements, spinal cord injuries, traumatic and non-traumatic brain injuries, cerebrovascular accidents (strokes), and various neurological conditions. While with us, we won’t focus on how much you can lift or how many repetitions you complete, but on how well you move through all the primary functional movements that are used in the home, community, and recreational environments. The more you improve your mobility and strength the better your overall quality of life.
"It looks hard. Can I do this?"
Of course you can! Every movement is modifiable to each person’s needs and ability. The exercises and intentions of Kutthaus Fitness were developed for individuals coming out of an Outpatient Physical Therapy and/or Occupational Therapy setting in mind. We know how hard it is to continue a home exercise plan without formal structure or accountability, so we created a place for you to join others with similar goals. The movements encouraged within our facility are meant to get you beyond “Good Enough” and build back your confidence in your ability and self-awareness.
"Movement is Medicine"
Exercise has been shown to increase metabolism and decrease inflammation.(a, b)
Help improve your balance and body awareness to decrease your risk of injury. (c)
Exercise can help lower blood pressure. (d)
Improving well-being is a connection between becoming physically and emotionally stronger. (e)
Improve sleep habits. (f)
"Use it or lose it." If you don't use the muscle, you lose function. If you lose the proper function, you have an increased chance of pain. Pain results in rest or over-the-counter medications to hide the symptoms, never actually address the mechanism of injury. This is just a constant loop of increasing weakness and pain. (g)
Give it a try - you might surprise yourself
We would love to have you here at Kutthaus Fitness, and be a part of your personal fitness journey.
