In this Professional Education Series video, Sam Cartwright discusses the importance of tailored exercise prescription for our patients. The importance of exercise for the prevention and management of many health conditions is not debated, however, as practitioners it is important to understand the benefits of certain types of exercise for different conditions and understand the barriers our patients may face. Doing this we can offer targeted advice for our individual patients, beyond the vague recommendation to “exercise more”. This ensures better compliance and avoids patient confusion and overwhelm when faced with lifestyle changes. It also assists us in making the most appropriate referrals when necessary.
