Your personal plan comes first.
The exercise library provides general information. It cannot diagnose symptoms or determine whether a movement is suitable for you. A recent operation, injury, diagnosed condition, balance difficulty or other health concern may change what is safe or appropriate.
Follow the advice of your treating professional. Stop for new pain, worsening symptoms or feeling unwell, and ask for advice before continuing. Do not progress an exercise just because a general guide suggests it. See the relevant NHS source for its complete advice.
About the RJP downloads
The weekly planner is a blank tracking tool, not an exercise prescription. The strength, neck/shoulder and knee charts are short, independently written summaries with NHS references. The six-movement chart re-typesets the routine supplied by the practice; it has not been validated as an NHS programme.
Clinical status: The practice-branded exercise charts are review copies. Richard needs to assess their wording, illustrations, precautions and suitability before approving them for patient distribution. No sheet is described as NHS-approved or as already clinically signed off.

Public sources were checked on 10 November 2026. Linking to NHS material does not make this practice, website or its independent content NHS-approved. NHS inform is Scotland’s national health information service; its general exercise guidance is not a statement about local appointment availability.

Designed to be easier to use.
The website uses readable colour contrast, scalable text, keyboard-accessible controls, a skip link and reduced-motion preferences. Main body copy is navy; yellow #F0C040 is used for accents and navy is used for essential text on pale backgrounds. It does not require an account to access resources. Decorative movement can be paused using the circular pause button in the header or the motion control in the footer. It is switched off automatically when your device requests reduced motion. All information and downloads remain available without animation.
The PDFs are printable, but not fully tagged accessible documents. For an alternative format or help with a resource, email or call Richard. The original NHS web pages also provide text information. No claim of full accessibility certification is made.
Tell Richard about communication or accessibility needs before an appointment so that arrangements can be discussed.
