EXERCISE WITH A PURPOSE
The Right Exercise Depends on What You Need to Improve
An exercise can be useful for one person and inappropriate for another. Your strength, mobility, balance, symptoms and current activity level all affect which movements should be included and how challenging they should be.
Instead of following a generic routine, your physiotherapist uses assessment findings to build exercises around the physical abilities that are limiting your movement or return to activity.
BUILT AROUND YOUR ASSESSMENT
How Therapeutic Exercise Works in Physiotherapy
Therapeutic exercise uses specific movements to address problems such as weakness, reduced mobility, poor balance or loss of physical capacity. The exercises are selected according to what your assessment shows and what you need to be able to do.
As your ability changes, the program can also change. Exercises may be modified, progressed or replaced so they continue to match your rehabilitation goals.
Personalized Selection
Your exercises are chosen according to your assessment, current ability and goals rather than from the same routine given to everyone.
Guided Technique
Your physiotherapist shows you how to perform each exercise and makes adjustments when needed for your symptoms, movement and level of difficulty.
Planned Progression
Resistance, repetitions, range or exercise difficulty can be adjusted as your strength, mobility, balance or activity tolerance improves.
WHAT YOUR PROGRAM CAN TARGET
When Exercise Therapy May Be Helpful
A personalized physiotherapy exercise program can focus on the physical limitations that are making everyday movement, work, recreation or recovery more difficult.
YOUR PROGRAM, STEP BY STEP
What to Expect From Your Exercise Program
Your program starts with understanding what is currently difficult and what physical abilities need to improve before deciding which exercises belong in your rehabilitation.
01
Assess Your Movement
Your physiotherapist may assess strength, mobility, balance and the specific movements or activities that are currently difficult for you.
02
Set Your Goals
Together, you will identify practical goals based on what you want to manage more comfortably or return to doing.
03
Learn Your Exercises
Your physiotherapist will select appropriate exercises, explain what each one is intended to work on and show you how to perform them.
04
Progress Your Program
As your ability changes, exercises can be made easier, more challenging or more specific to the activities you are working toward.

FAQs
Common questions about Exercise Therapy
What Is Exercise Therapy?
Exercise therapy uses specific movements and exercises to improve physical problems such as weakness, reduced mobility, balance difficulties or loss of activity tolerance. At ActiLife, it is prescribed as part of physiotherapy care.
How Are Physiotherapy Exercises Prescribed?
Your physiotherapist first considers your symptoms, movement, strength, mobility and functional goals. Exercises are then selected at an appropriate level and adjusted as your needs change.
Is My Exercise Program Personalized?
Yes. The exercises, level of difficulty and progression are based on your assessment and the activities you are working toward rather than a standard routine.
Is Exercise Therapy a Separate Appointment?
At ActiLife, therapeutic exercise can be incorporated into your physiotherapy treatment plan rather than booked as a separate exercise-only service. Current appointment options are listed under physiotherapy.
BUILD BACK STEP BY STEP
Start With the Right Exercise Plan
