Exercise Counseling

Exercise counselling is guidance towards a physically active lifestyle. It is a gradual, goal-oriented process that may include several meetings or contacts between a professional and a client, as needed.

In exercise counselling, clients are supported in identifying their own strengths and opportunities, as well as their preferences and motivations for being physically active, and in setting realistic goals to increase their physical activity. In addition to individual counselling, physical activity counselling can also be delivered in a group setting.

Service Path for Physical Activity Counseling

Physical activity counseling is based on close collaboration among various partners. The term “service pathway” refers to smooth, cross-organisational collaboration between different entities within the municipality and the well-being services county. For the client, this manifests as a series of consecutive and seamless services that support lifestyle changes. The service pathway helps reach elderlies who are not getting enough physical activity for their health; physical activity is brought up in conversation, and the client is referred to physical activity counseling and encouraged to engage in independent or guided physical activity.
