PECTEX

Therapeutic Exercise

This course is for students who have a physical limitation that precludes them from participating in any formal physical education course offering but are able to do a modified exercise program with the supervision of an athletic trainer and/or strength and conditioning coach. A personal exercise plan will be created for students to attain a specific physical benefit, such as maintenance of the range of motion, strengthening of weakened muscles, increased joint flexibility, or improved cardiovascular and respiratory function. Participation in this course is determined by medical necessity and must be approved by the Academy’s health care staff.
