The initial assessment will involve a conversation about health and medical conditions, previous and current injuries, pelvic health status, background knowledge and experience with exercise, and goals. It will include a visual examination of posture, range of motion, stability, and strength. We will go through exercises together. Shortly after the assessment you will receive a customized exercise program, through the Embodia app. The exercise program will be targetted to help you achieve your goals and will be tailored to wherever you are able to exercise (at home, at a gym, outdoors, etc.) and whatever equipment you have available. The program will include a combination of strength and mobility exercises from 2-5 days per week.
The follow-up appointments offer time for reflection and reassessment. We will check in to see how you did the week(s) prior and address your questions or concerns. At each follow up there will be more information provided to you, in the form of exercise progression, nutritional advice, and/or mindfulness strategies. There is always an option to add or remove appointments as we go. The treatment may change depending on what stage of life you are in, but there will always be a combination of movement and mindfulness strategies to help you achieve your goals.
