Rx-ercise - Movement as Medicine
Exercise is one of the most underused tools in addiction recovery.
At Bayani Health & Wellness, we provide a personalized exercise prescription as part of our fully online outpatient addiction treatment program - designed to support both physical and mental recovery.
Why Exercise Matters in Recovery
Regular movement has been shown to:
- Improve mood and reduce anxiety
- Support better sleep
- Decrease stress and cravings
- Improve brain health
- Build confidence and resilience
Exercise is not about punishment or perfection -
it's about healing and empowerment.
What is an Exercise Prescription?
An exercise prescription is a physician-guided movement plan, tailored specifically to you. Your plan considers:
- Your current fitness level
- Injuries or chronic conditions
- Energy levels
- Time constraints
- Personal preferences
- Past exercise experience, if any
This ensures movement is safe, achievable, and sustainable.
No Gym Required
Your exercise prescription may include:
- Walking or outdoor movement
- Strength training with bodyweight or light equipment
- Mobility and flexibility exercises
- Stress-reducing movement
Everything is designed to fit into your real life - not overwhelm it.
Exercise as Part of Whole-Person Recovery
When combined with:
- Medication-assisted treatment
