TIME™: Making Community-Based Exercise Accessible for People With Mobility Impairments

Overview:

Opportunities for people with mobility issues to participate in exercise programs are limited. Their lives often become sedentary. This session presents the TIME™ (Together in Movement and Exercise) program as a solution that promotes healthy aging and social interaction through exercise, for people living with chronic mobility impairments.

TIME™ highlights how physiotherapists can lead a coast-to-coast movement, building community capacity for adapted exercise programs.

In this online course hosted by the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA), you will learn about the TIME™ (Together in Movement and Exercise) program, how to make community-based exercise accessible for people with mobility impairments, and how to replicate the model.
