Exercise Therapy

A good exercise habit enhances the fitness level of obese patient. Our Physiotherapy Department has devised an Anti-obesity Exercise Programme which offers patients the opportunities to exercise under the supervision of a physiotherapist to sustain the weight reduction result and to promote the cardiovascular function.

Format

The programme includes 8 exercise sessions within 4 to 6 weeks . Participants are recommended to have 2 exercise sessions every week. An initial assessment will be performed by a physiotherapist during the first session to record the fitness level of the participant. An exercise programme will be tailor-made and the participant can exercise in the Gymnasium of our Physiotherapy Department using state-of-the-art equipment.

Participant can also attend the Gymnasium of the Department for unsupervised exercise sessions at a nominal cost. In the final session, the therapist will evaluate the result of the participant and advise on the planning of further exercises for maintenance. The participant can also extend the supervised exercise programme according to his/her individual needs.
