Are you tired of boring physical therapy exercises?  If so, try stepping it up, and exercise with resistance bands. This is a great way to improve your stretching and have some fun on your virtual physical therapy visits. Virtual PT NYC offers virtual physical therapy visits for their patients all day long Monday through Friday. 

What are Resistance Bands? 

Resistance bands come in different variations; they can be thin, flat rubber bands or thin rubber tubes with handles on each end. They can help you target many parts of your body to increase muscle strength and lose weight. The resistance bands have many other benefits as well. Here are some:

• Improve posture
• Increase blood circulation
• Improve balance 
• Enhance mental health
  

Who Should Use Resistance Bands?

By looking at the list above anyone and everyone can benefit from resistance bands. More specifically, it is ideal for pregnant women, athletes, and older adults to add resistance bands to their daily exercise routines. Those who suffer from diabetes can actually benefit from resistance bands as well. Incorporating resistance bands into a diabetic’s stretching routine can be extremely beneficial. Exercising more often and building strength can help use your body’s insulin in a more efficient way. It may also lower your body’s glucose level, which as a result can possibly decrease the amount of medicine the diabetic needs.
