Description
This program provides supervised group exercise for people recovering from hip or knee replacement surgery in a 10 week program. The objective is to increase physical activity levels and confidence in participants with the help of trained staff who are supported by VCH physiotherapists.
Registration is FREE but you must have a valid Flexi-pass to participate in the program.
You can attend this program if you:
• Minimum 6 weeks post-op joint replacement surgery
• Able to ambulate independently +/- mobility aid. (If not, the client must arrange to have a support person present for the duration of the session)
• Medically cleared to exercise
