Movement and everyday life
Put the context around your goals.
Start with your priorities.
Prepare a picture of the activities your day involves, including travel, caring responsibilities, work and rest. This helps you ask more concrete questions during an assessment.
Ask about the practical details.
Ask how a proposed plan could fit the equipment, time and support available to you. Discuss anything that would make it difficult to follow.
Keep the decision informed.
Keep treatment decisions with your clinician. The aim of this planning guide is to help you communicate, not to prescribe exercises or judge new symptoms.
Take these questions with you.
- What would a suitable assessment involve?
- What benefits, risks and alternatives should I understand?
- What will the appointments and follow-up cost?
- How will we review the plan and decide next steps?
