It is important to build exercise into your daily routine. This way you
are more likely to stick with it. A referral for a Green prescription
prior to your surgery is recommended and can be organised by
your Doctor. This prescription gives you access to Sports Bay of
Plenty. This will give you support to be more physically active and
to improve your health.
We encourage the use of a pedometer or Fitbit device to help with
motivation and goal setting.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact the
physiotherapy department on (07) 579 8441 between 8am and
4.30pm Monday to Friday.
