CHRONIC DISEASE
"WE USE EXERCISE AS MEDICINE FOR CHRONIC CONDITIONS"
Living with a chronic condition doesn’t mean your health and quality of life have to be limited. When prescribed and delivered correctly, exercise can be a powerful tool for managing symptoms, improving function, and supporting long-term health. At VEP, we develop personalised exercise programs tailored to your condition, goals, abilities, and lifestyle.
WHAT TO EXPECT
1. Initial Assessment
The initial appointment is set with the goal of understanding you so we can create the safest and most effective exercise program.
2. Your Health Prescription
Think of this the same as the prescription you get from your doctor for medication, but for exercise.
3. Tailored Exercise Therapy
We ensure your safety, help keep you accountable and support you in your physical activity journey to get the best results.
4. Review Assessment
After 6-8 weeks we will take you through your review assessment, where we will show you all the progress you have made so far towards your goals!
5. Health Review & Assessment
We then review all your results and redo your health prescription based on how you went, how you are feeling and what goal you want to achieve in the next 6-8 weeks.
Who is this for?
This service is designed for people managing chronic health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis or obesity, as well as those looking to improve their physical or mental wellbeing. Whether you’re managing a health condition or simply want to improve your long-term health, we’ll use safe, tailored exercise to help you feel and function better.
What to expect?
We’ll start with a comprehensive assessment to understand your health, current fitness, challenges and goals. From there, we’ll create a personalised exercise program that is safe, effective and suited to your needs. Your progress will be monitored and your program adjusted as you build confidence and capacity.
Key Benefits
Our goal is to help you feel stronger, more energetic and more confident in managing your health. Regular, tailored exercise can improve physical and mental wellbeing, support symptom management, boost mood and build your capacity for long-term health.
