The typical program consists of five phases.
- A complete health history and lifestyle questionnaires must be filled out prior to the physical examination. This information will dictate the direction of the physical exam.
- Physical Examination: This process will take one to two hours to complete and it may include referrals to other health practitioners or for lab tests.
- Program design: This individualized program will be based from the findings of one’s physical examination and questionnaires. The program will take into consideration time and equipment constraints.
- Program education: This includes individualized instruction on how to perform the corrective exercise program. All programs are recorded onto a mini DVD and given to the client to take home for convenience in learning the program.
- Progression: Depending on genetic make up, the program will need to be updated every two to six weeks. A re-evaluation will be performed prior to the advancement of the exercise program.
