Exercise Therapy

An exercise therapist works in consultation with a physiotherapist to assess your child and create an exercise plan which includes:

• Finding activities that your child enjoys and wants to be a part of
• Planning a set of exercises for your child. This might include individual exercise or exercise in a group
• showing your child how to properly do the exercises
• making any changes as they are needed
• checking in to make sure that the exercises are working for you and your child
• showing ways to make sure that your child can get the exercises done at home, in the school, or community
• encouraging your whole family to take part in the fitness activities

  Examples of things working with an exercise therapist might help with are:

• Increases sense of belonging in the community.
• Improves ability to handle different situations.
• Improves confidence and self-esteem.
• Increases motivation, energy level, and stamina.
• Creates or restores a sense of balance to life, with more fun.
• Improves communication within family and friends.
• Reduces depression, anxiety, and stress.
• Improves satisfaction and quality of life.

Every little bit of activity helps to create strong bones and a healthy mind!
