Please be certain to have medical clearance plus a good understanding of your client’s condition and any medications that have been prescribed. Daily variances in symptoms and side effects of medications can necessitate exercise prescription modifications for safety and comfort.
If Physical Therapy has been prescribed try to work closely with the therapist to coordinate care and supplement therapeutic treatments. Take the time to research the condition using reliable sources such as MedlinePlus, APTA, and physio-pedia.com.
