Physical activity counselling includes a maximum of five guided sessions with a physical activity counsellor, face-to-face or remotely, according to your preference. Some of the meetings (1–2 times) can be held with the Wellness Center’s physiotherapy students. These meetings focus on a survey of the musculoskeletal system, which includes an assessment of the body’s muscle balance and mobility, feedback on these, and guidance on suitable home exercises. The contents of the physical activity counseling meetings are planned together and implemented according to your needs and goals. At the first meeting, your situation is discussed comprehensively, your desired goals are set, and a plan is drawn up to achieve them.
