More Adaptable
Exercises can be modified according to pain, mobility, strength, confidence, and medical recommendations.
More Goal-Directed
Sessions focus on meaningful goals such as getting off the floor, walking with confidence, returning to hobbies, improving tolerance for work, or rebuilding strength after rehabilitation.
More Collaborative
When appropriate and with client consent, programming may complement recommendations provided by regulated healthcare professionals.
