What is Exercise Prescription?
The formulation of individualised exercise programs based on exercise frequency, intensity, and duration. At PEAK we implement individualised exercise prescription in line with your previous injury history, current symptoms and future goals.
What Is Included as part of Exercise Prescription With PEAK?
Exercise prescription is implemented as part of many of our services including:
- As part of in room consultations. Generally exercise is prescribed as part of the treatment or home exercise program.
- As part of a customised 1 to 1 exercise session. This session is where your Physiotherapist, Chiropractor or Podiatrist will spend 45 minutes with you in the gym supervising your exercise program.
- As part of our Exercise Led Prevention Classes.
Each of these services include a detailed assessment to ensure an individualised exercise prescription.
Benefits Of Regular Exercise
Exercise prescription can be used to reduce your pain, improve your quality of life and move you towards your goals. Often in life we need to be able to move well, and without pain, to participate in meaningful activities. PEAK’s exercise prescription is delivered by qualified practitioners. This means that it will be customised to your injury history, current fitness level, and be progressed in a safe and supervised manner.
