Physical Therapy Support for Individuals Using GLP-1 Medications
GLP-1 medications can be an effective tool — but medication alone does not protect strength, movement quality, or long-term physical resilience.
At Congruency Therapy & Wellness, we provide individualized physical therapy support for people using GLP-1s who want to feel strong, capable, and confident in their bodies.
This service may be a good fit if you:
Are currently using or considering a GLP-1 medication
Want to preserve muscle and strength during weight loss
Feel weaker, unsteady, or unsure how to exercise
Value proactive, whole-person healthcare
Prefer unrushed, one-on-one care
This service may not be ideal if you are seeking a quick fix, insurance-driven volume care, or purely passive treatment.
Who This Service is For
Our GLP-1–informed physical therapy care supports:
Muscle preservation and strength development
Joint protection during body composition changes
Balance, coordination, and confidence in movement
Safe return to resistance training or exercise
Fatigue management and sustainable activity levels
