		The Center for Health Promotion is Pittsburgh’s only Exercise Physiology practice. Since 1990, we have helped people become proactive participants in their own health, focusing on prevention and management of disease and chronic conditions. We can provide the supervision you need for your exercise and dietary directives, with the highest quality care and strictest confidentiality.

Part of the Health Care Team		For many patients, rehabilitative exercise and nutrition therapy are important components of health management. Typical patients include the healthy de-conditioned, or those who need extensive therapy or rehabilitation, including people with cardio-respiratory or orthopedic limitations. We provide supervised exercise and lifestyle counseling to patients with cardiac risk, back pain, obesity, diabetes and a host of other conditions. We offer a cheerful and non-clinical atmosphere and a staff of excellent motivators. Each patient is treated in complete privacy by an ongoing, assigned Exercise Specialist^SMwho is fully qualified to develop and supervise an effective and safe training regimen. As a result, patients feel comfortable and nurtured, which gives them strong motivation to work consistently on their therapy. We also coach patients on nutrition, weight management, lifestyle improvement and eating disorder/chronic disease management. Our educational presentations and in-service training for health care providers include: Lifestyle Modification for the Prevention and Management of Cardio-respiratory Disease Smoking Cessation Through Nicotine Replacement, Group Support and Lifestyle Modification Incorporating Nutrition and Physical Activity in Patient Care Plans Effective Stress Management Strategies Interdisciplinary Diabetes Management Recognizing and Treating Eating Disorders Ergonomic Evaluation and Training Developing and Preparing Patient Education Materials

Health Awareness: A Bottom Line Issue		As organizations strive to do more with less, employee performance becomes a crucial element in business success. That’s why their health and fitness is a business issue for you. Chronic conditions, illnesses and on the job injuries all contribute to your bottom line through missed work days and decreased productivity — in fact, ergonomic-related conditions, so-called "white collar injuries," currently represent one of the biggest costs to businesses. Through our unique programs, the Center for Health Promotion can help your people work to the best of their potential and ability. The value of worksite health promotion activities is obvious: prevention of disease leads to lower health care costs. Center for Health Promotion programs are designed to improve health awareness. For example, blood pressure/cholesterol screenings and body composition analyses are simple measures that can lead people to view their health and lifestyle from a new perspective, and they begin to talk about it in new terms. In many cases, people make subsequent changes that enhance their health and their lives. Improved health and fitness can lead to improved job performance — helping you to achieve your business goals more efficiently and effectively. The benefits of health education and promotion initiatives extend far beyond cost containment. Improved morale, increased productivity and employee appreciation are invaluable responses to Center for Health Promotion programs. We can tailor a program to your organization’s needs, whether it be Fitness, Weight Management, Smoking Cessation, Stress Management, CPR Training or Office Ergonomics. We offer a wide range of education and consulting programs, from single lectures to ongoing interventions. Our professionals are the best in Pittsburgh, highly skilled and well-educated motivators with extensive experience in designing effective training programs and regimens that get results.
