Supported Therapeutic Exercise Program (STEP)
MOVE aims to advance inclusion through all of its programs and services. Each program is focused on eliminating physical and financial barriers that individuals living with disabilities encounter while seeking to engage in regular physical activity.
MOVE’s Supported Therapeutic Exercise Program (STEP) provides supported therapeutic exercise and access to adapted equipment to individuals in the community who need support to exercise.
STEP includes the development of individualized exercise programs, full access to MOVE’s specialized gym equipment, one-on-one therapy by a registered Kinesiologist or Athletic Therapist, group exercise programs, and support from trained staff and volunteers.
Once an initial assessment has been completed by our Kinesiologist or Athletic Therapist, an exercise program tailored to your needs and abilities will be created. Financial assistance is available to those who qualify.
