What to expect from an initial Exercise Physiology session?

An initial exercise physiology session is important to help your clinician get to know you and for you to get to know them. Your rehabilitation is a partnership, and you should feel comfortable in your sessions. You should wear comfortable clothes and sneakers (or closed in shoes) to your sessions. The initial will involve a detailed assessment including reviewing your medical history, lifestyle, likes, dislikes, previous level of function, history of falls, current level of motivation, and goals. Our service is tailored to each individual and we want to find out what you would like to get out of your exercise physiology appointments at Alliance Rehabilitation.

Your assessment will include the analysis of your strength, core stability, cardiovascular fitness, endurance, balance, flexibility, or mobility. The Exercise Physiologist uses these results to prescribe the right intensity of exercise. At Alliance Rehabilitation, our treatment is client-focused and goal-oriented. We want to focus on what is important to you and establish meaningful long-term goals. We will break these down to more achievable short-term goals, while keeping the long-term in mind.

Based on the information you provide and the initial assessment, your clinician will then create a tailored exercise program for you; suited to your current ability and identified goals. The initial assessments will allow us to track your progress and modify your plan as you advance, to suit your changing needs and building confidence.
