OccuMED Exercise Physiology

OccuMED Exercise Physiology provides active exercise treatment to improve cardiovascular fitness, range of motion, muscular strength and endurance following:

• Injury or surgery
• Diagnosis of chronic health conditions

The goal is to return the patient to optimal function at home, at work and in their recreational pursuits.

The active exercise treatment is partially supervised and undertaken at a facility and at times convenient to the patient.
