The initial consultation includes a medical history and physical assessment - anthropometric measurements and functional testing depending on the individual’s requirements. The results from this testing allow an exercise programme to be designed specific to each individual. Private exercise sessions can then be arranged during the week at times which suit the individual. Home programmes can also be prescribed as additional support to ensure the patient is given every opportunity to improve. Discovery Vitality Fitness Assessments can be completed at the private practice which will help increase Vitality points for the year.
