Comments

An exercise bike is not intended for general fitness. 

Exercise bikes will only be supplied where the client is required:

  • to increase cardio-vascular fitness prior to surgery
  • to reduce weight prior to surgery 
  • as a rehabilitation aid following surgery (e.g. post knee surgery).
  • other (e.g. prescribed management or treatment plan of medical conditions such as arthritis, respiratory and neurological conditions, cancer)

This item is only to be prescribed after an initial 3 month trial AV18 to ensure that the exercise bike is suitable for ongoing supply and treatment.
