We are the Brenau Doctor of Physical Therapy Program Heart Walk Team! As physical therapists (and future physical therapists) - fitness, wellness, and health are all vitally important to our practice and education.
We are trained to prescribe exercise-based medicine to not only facilitate the recovery of patients after heart-related health challenges, but also prevent heart disease through exercise. We are proud to care for patients after heart attacks, stroke, major heart surgery, and even heart transplant, but we would love to see the numbers of these patients decrease rather than increase.
Heart disease is still the no. 1 killer and stroke ranks no. 5 in our nation. We are walking together - not only for our own health, but also for yours. And for the health of our parents, our children, our patients, and their families.
The Heart Walk is a time of celebration, joy, and inspiration. It's also an event where people work together to support one single goal - to create a world free of heart disease and stroke. Be a relentless force. Be a supporter of critical research. Be a lifesaver. Be a part of an unstoppable team. Join us now and walk to save lives.
