Having limited mobility does not mean that exercise is unwise or that you are unable to participate. It simply means that care must be taken during your evaluation for exercise and the correct form prescribed for you. The only way for this to happen is with careful consultation between you, your family doctor and your physiotherapist. For most health conditions, forms of exercise are essential in maintaining and improving your health, level of function and in achieving your personal goals.
