Exercise Prescription and Passive Exercises
Movement is central to recovery, whatever your current level of ability. I offer personalised exercise programmes to help build strength and independence, as well as gentle passive exercises for those who are less able to move independently.
How Can I Help
EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION
During your initial assessment, I will evaluate your range of movement and muscle strength and design a personalised exercise programme to address your specific needs. This is reviewed and progressed regularly to help improve or maintain your function and independence.
- Assessment of your range of movement and muscle strength
- A personalised exercise programme tailored to your needs
- Regular review and progression of your exercises as you improve
- Prehabilitation to build strength ahead of surgery, such as a hip or knee replacement
- 1:1 sessions to help support and encourage you with your exercises, if you would like
PASSIVE EXERCISES
For those who are bedbound or have limited ability to move independently, I can provide gentle passive range-of-movement exercises to promote comfort and wellbeing.

What To Expect
Following your initial assessment, we will agree a personalised exercise programme based on your current strength and mobility, with regular reviews to keep it progressing alongside your recovery.
Additional Support
I am happy to demonstrate exercises to family members or carers, whether that’s an active programme or passive movements, so they can support you between visits.
