At Health and Exercise Prescriptions®, we do not begin with a generic exercise program. We begin by understanding you—your goals, current abilities, previous injuries, health and exercise history, limitations, lifestyle, and the factors that may affect your success.

​

The $155 Physical Assessment is a comprehensive starting session designed to give us the information needed to build an individualized HEP® plan that fits your body, your goals, your schedule, and your real life.

​​

What Your Physical Assessment May Include

Your assessment is individualized, so not every person needs the exact same screening. Depending on your history, goals, and current abilities, we may look at:

• Injury history and current limitations

• Posture

• Goals and priorities

• General flexibility and mobility

• Functional range of motion and movement

• Exercise and activity history

• Body composition, including body fat and BMI when appropriate

• Family health history

• Current fitness and exercise tolerance

• Lifestyle and time commitment

• Previous rehabilitation or surgery

• Other factors that may affect your ability to succeed with a sustainable program

More Than a Physical Evaluation

The Physical Assessment is designed to look at the bigger picture—not just a few measurements or exercises. We consider how strength, mobility, flexibility, conditioning, recovery, previous injuries, movement restrictions, lifestyle, and other factors may be affecting your ability to exercise consistently and make progress.

The goal is to identify a realistic starting point and build a plan around what you can do now, while creating a clear path toward what you want to be able to do next.

Your Individualized HEP® Plan

After your Physical Assessment, we use what we learn to help determine the most appropriate next steps for you. Your plan may focus on one service or combine several approaches depending on your goals and needs.

Then add:

Your plan may include:

• Medical Exercise & Post-Rehab

• Personal Training & Healthy Aging

• Orthopedic Massage & Integrated Bodywork

• Mobility and flexibility work

• Muscle Energy Techniques

• Recovery and wellness strategies

The goal is not to use every service. It is to choose the approaches that make the most sense for you.

Built Around Your Real Life

A successful plan has to work outside the studio, not just during an appointment. Your assessment helps us consider your schedule, previous exercise experience, physical limitations, preferences, available time, and how much you can realistically commit to each week.

That allows us to build a plan that is challenging enough to create progress, but realistic enough to sustain.

Physical Assessment — $155

If you are not sure which HEP® service is the right starting point, the Physical Assessment gives us the information needed to help determine the most appropriate direction.
