How does inactivity leads to deconditioning?
As with most things related to a system as complex as the human body, it depends. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, two weeks without exercise can lead to significant loss of cardiovascular fitness. Two to eight months of detraining can erase virtually all of your gains. As you de-train, cardiovascular fitness tends to decline first, with muscle strength declining later.
Other factors are your age, and your exercise history. If you’re younger, you’ll probably lose fitness at a slower rate than someone older. If you’ve been consistently exercising for a long time, or at a high intensity, your losses will probably be slower than for someone who just started.

Lazy Summer or Deconditioning? - Active Kare Physical Therapy
What is Deconditioning?
Exercise creates many changes in your body
- your heart begins to pump blood more efficiently,
- your muscles use oxygen more efficiently,
- they contract in a more coordinated manner,
and
- your body gets more efficient turning food into fuel to name just a few.
Deconditioning is the reversing of these changes.
Exercise is a “use it or lose it” kind of thing, and deconditioning is the process by which we “lose it.”

Finally, Some Good News About Back Pain - Active Kare Physical Therapy
Current Scenario:
You hurt your self. Let's say you hurt your back.
You go see your doctor with back pain.
They might give you medication, recommend rest, some stretches, send you for x-rays or an MRI.
Next will likely be a referral to a specialist like an orthopedic surgeon.
Chances are you won’t be having surgery right away, so the specialist will either refer you to PT or back to your PCP where you’ll end up with a PT referral.
Now think. What if you start with PT right away. As soon as you are hurt.
Here is why insurance companies are recommending on early access to PT:
