Therapeutic Exercise Prescription

Meaning

Therapeutic exercise prescription is the systematic, individualized process of designing a structured physical activity regimen specifically to achieve a clinical or physiological health outcome. This goes beyond general fitness advice, tailoring the type, intensity, duration, and frequency of exercise to the patient’s current hormonal status, metabolic capacity, and specific wellness goals. In the hormonal health space, a prescription might target improved insulin sensitivity, enhanced growth hormone release, or reduced chronic inflammation. The prescription is a critical, non-pharmacological tool in a comprehensive wellness protocol.
