How we work

Our process

A comprehensive consultation

The process begins with an initial consultation and thorough movement assessment so that we can fully understand your medical history and how your current symptoms are impacting your day to day life.

A customised exercise program consultation

Once the movement assessment is complete, the Exercise Physiologist you will be working with will design a bespoke, engaging and dynamic exercise programme incorporating a combination of the recommended types of exercise for osteoarthritis. They will also take into any other fitness goals you have, as well as any other conditions you may be managing.

Ongoing weekly sessions

Each week, you will have one or more live one-hour session(s) with your Exercise Physiologist, who will visit your home or coach you online based on your preferences.

Home exercise support

Outside of the sessions, you can expect to be given an individualised home-exercise plan to complete in your own time and your Exercise Physiologist will provide encouragement, accountability and enthusiasm to help keep you on track.

Kind words from our clients

"Longevity has provided me with fantastic exercise rehab sessions, I have been having sessions at my home for several years now & the sessions are tailored to my particular needs at the time. I have fairly widespread osteoarthrosis & also balance problems & the sessions have not only prevented progression of my problems but also produced clear improvement so that I am now returning to golf & other activities. As a doctor myself, I have realised that the education around which exercises to do and how much, is vital for consistency. It’s great that my problems are considered and the exercises are clearly adapted accordingly."

Clinical exercise FAQ’s

Who is clinical exercise for?

Clinical exercise is designed for those with a specific medical condition, consideration or older adults that require carefully managed exercise looking to improve strength, mobility, balance fitness and overall wellbeing. It’s ideal for those recovering from surgery, managing long-term conditions, or aiming to prevent falls and maintain independence.

How is clinical exercise different from physiotherapy?

While physiotherapy focuses on initial rehabilitation after an injury or surgery, clinical exercise is designed for long-term management of different conditions or consideration to help with: strength, mobility, and balance improvements. Our services complement our physiotherapy services and help individuals maintain progress once initial physiotherapy sessions have ended.

Do we have to commit to a set number of sessions?

No, there’s not a set number of sessions required. We recommend a 12-week timeframe to see key improvements in strength, mobility, balance, and exercise tolerance. Many clients continue long-term to keep up their health and fitness goals long-term with support, accountability and motivation.

Do you provide home exercises to do between sessions?

Yes, we provide tailored exercises to reinforce progress and encourage independent movement between sessions.

Where do the sessions take place?

All our sessions are generally carried out as home visit sessions ensuring exercises are safe, practical, and relevant to daily activities. However, we can also provide sessions in a gym facility, outdoor park or online to meet your preferences.

What locations do you cover?

We offer home visits across London, Surrey and surrounding areas. If you’re unsure whether we cover your area, please get in touch.

My family member is resistant to exercise, how do you handle this?

We understand that many people may feel hesitant or are resistant about starting an exercise programme, especially if they have had negative experiences before. Our approach can be gentle, supportive, and tailored to their abilities. We focus on making movements relevant to their daily life, which helps build confidence and motivation. We will also consider any hobbies, interests or anything else that may help build rapport to help trust in the process.
