To get the best benefits of exercise, truly using exercise as medicine, right prescription is required, looking at the frequency, intensity, time and type of exercise (FITT principle). With the proper prescription on how hard and long one should exercise, great goals can be achieved.
In this webinar, we are happy to welcome two speakers to discuss how treating Exercise as Medicine is implemented and making a change in their clinics:

SAM WALEY - GPS AND EPS BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN EXERCISE AND MEDICINE
Sam Waley is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and Director at MedHP, a health and wellness hub designed specifically for over 50s. Having worked extensively with an ‘older’ demographic, Sam has a wealth of experience in exercise rehabilitation, including musculoskeletal and chronic illnesses as well oncology.
