What to expect when seeing an AEP?
1. Initial Consultation
During your first session with an AEP, they will undertake a comprehensive assessment in order to develop an exercise plan based on your unique requirements. This session will most likely be a fair few questions about your health and history. After this session, an AEP will provide you with a plan of action.
2. Implementing Your Plan
The next step is actually undertaking the plan as set out by your AEP. This can sometimes be home-based exercises, exercises at the clinic or joining your AEP at a local gym.
3. Check-ups and tracking.
This is the point where you will have a catch up with your AEP and monitor and check out how you are tracking. An AEP will always compare your current health status with previously established results. This catch up will determine the next course of action – this could be more sessions with under direct guidance from an AEP or a plan for you to do in your own time.
4. Teaching you how to take control of your health
Throughout the entire process, an AEP will work with you to implement a number of strategies to help you manage your health in the future.
