Orthopaedic Associates is revolutionizing care with the Prescribe FIT program, a virtual health coaching service targeting root causes of musculoskeletal issues. By promoting lifestyle changes, such as healthier eating and exercise, patients are reducing pain, improving mobility, and preventing future injuries.

DESTIN, Fla., Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Orthopaedic Associates is proud to announce the transformative success of its new Prescribe FIT program, a virtual health coaching service focused on root cause treatment, surgical optimization, and preventive care. By focusing on lifestyle modifications, their team of Prescribe FIT clinical health coaches help patients reduce pain, increase mobility, and improve their overall day-to-day life.
Orthopedic issues, such as joint pain, arthritis, and back problems, are among the leading causes of disability worldwide. While genetics and aging play a role, lifestyle factors like diet, physical activity, and body weight have an undeniable impact on musculoskeletal health. Research shows that addressing these lifestyle factors can prevent or reduce the severity of MSK issues.
Through this partnership, Orthopaedic Associates patients have collectively lost over 2,000 pounds, significantly reducing the stress on their musculoskeletal system while improving their mobility, decreasing chronic pain, and reducing the need for surgery. These successes reflect the practice's commitment to a holistic approach to orthopedic care that prioritizes long-term health and wellness.
Among the many patient success stories is Vickie Daleccio, who shared, "The Prescribe FIT program has been great! With the help of my coach, I have gained the confidence to change the way I eat and exercise. I love the wonderful recipes and the reference information in the app. Overall, I'm grateful for the chance I have been given with this program."
Dr. T. Jacob Seales, a fellowship-trained and board-certified joint replacement and revision surgeon at Orthopaedic Associates, remarked:
"Prescribe FIT is transforming how we care for our patients outside the clinic and improving the overall health of our community. By addressing the root causes of musculoskeletal conditions, Prescribe FIT has enabled Orthopaedic Associates to enhance care and improve the day-to-day lives of patients in the Florida Panhandle region."
Patients with chronic conditions are seeing remarkable progress. Mary, a 76-year-old participant, explained: "Through the program, I have lost 15 lbs and managed to maintain that loss. More importantly, my arthritis pain has greatly reduced due to eating healthier and avoiding inflammatory foods. I know that if I continue to work with Prescribe FIT, I will reach my goal weight and reduce the negative impact of my inflammatory arthritis."
The program's benefits extend beyond individual success stories, with several patients achieving significant improvements that positively impact their overall health and ability to engage in daily activities. Chris Bailey, Chief Operating Officer at Orthopaedic Associates emphasized:
"Prescribe FIT allows us to offer an enhanced level of care that addresses not just immediate symptoms but the underlying factors that contribute to orthopedic conditions. It has truly elevated our practice's reputation in the Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Niceville, Crestview, and Panama City communities by providing patients with the tools they need for sustained health improvements."
By integrating Prescribe FIT's innovative virtual care protocol, Orthopaedic Associates continues to redefine what it means to provide comprehensive orthopedic care. This partnership underscores Orthopaedic Associates' dedication to improving patient outcomes and enhancing overall well-being in the communities it serves.
