Movement is medicine and rehabilitation

Movement is Medicine

Exercise is medicine encompasses 4 different programs carried out by qualified exercise professionals at Meadow Park Sport Centre. It is a known fact that exercise has been shown to improve medical outcomes in chronic disease as well as in cancer, Parkinson’s and rehabilitation of injuries. The impact these types of programs have on individuals goes beyond just a recovery, it manages stress, anxiety depression, weight gain or loss and many other negative side effects associated with various conditions and injuries. We are encouraging primary care physicians and health care providers to include physical activity when designing treatment plans and to refer patients to evidence based exercise programs and qualified exercise professionals for an individualized exercise prescription.
