In the beginning, start with slow walks, start with walking, light yoga, light aerobic activity, light weight training, just keep it light for a period of time.
What if your path to sobriety included a bit of physical therapy? Dmitry Foox, a physical therapist and self-proclaimed 'Sobernaut', joins 'A is for Alcoholic' to share his unique approach to recovery. Dmitry's journey through addiction and into sobriety isn't just about mental strength; it's about physical health too. He passionately believes that the physical aspect of recovery often gets overlooked, and he's on a mission to change that.
By integrating his PT practice into recovery centers and homes, Dmitry is helping others find a holistic balance between body and mind. This episode dives into how exercise can boost mental health, the challenges of maintaining a healthy diet in recovery, and why a comprehensive approach to sobriety is essential. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Dmitry's story offers a fresh perspective on the importance of physical well-being in the quest for sobriety.
