The course was interesting, but quite specific to Canadian Health Guidelines. The videos were interesting, but the quality could have been better as sometimes the sound was a bit uneven.
LL
Loved learning about this topic and the information was very clear and relevant. Unfortunately, some of the links to various resources were outdated which made some things challenging.

Over this six-week interactive course, I did not only learn about relevant primary prevention guidelines for heart disease, bone disease and other long-term medical conditions, I got help from participants to develop a feasible and personalized exercise plan to improve my weekly physical activity. I learned about the significance of physical therapy for my overall health. It is a course everyone should consider participating in. I have gathered basic knowledge for a healthy lifestyle _ the fundamentals of managing my health that I have involuntarily ignored by giving myself excuses _ knowledge that is eternal.
Excellent course, thank you for this opportunity to think about our physical fitness level and make changes to improve our lifestyle through exercise!
This is a very practicle course with valuable information that will help anyone. I highly recommend this course. It was well designed and delivered and the activites were not only relevant but very helpful and engaging.
Amazing, really enjoyed the course and each and every mentor with their detailed presentation. It's made me excited to see myself in Physiotherapy in the future. Thank you!

As a retired health care professional, I found the course content basic but well organized and high quality in presentation. I found the course to be slanted towards the role of the physical therapist - which is a great idea as a professional strategy. I would agree most people are not aware of the scope of your role - but that was not what I was expecting from the course name "Managing Your Health". It's also frustrating since most physical therapy requires private pay and is therefore not as accessible as your course makes it sound.
i found this course interesting n enjoyable. i got to know how to manage sports injuries through exercises through this course ,it improved my knowledge about physical therapy and exercises.
Give you basic understnad of physical therapy for cardio, musculoskeletal, cancer and exercise base on Canada guideline. Not for people looking for latest research evidence or updates.
It was a great experience learning this course. I got to learn some new skills and the role of exercises in many area.
Thank you course.
A must course for everyone!
Good
This course was very educational, very useful. I really liked the videos and the reading material. I also learned from other course participants. Prevention or treatment; exercise helps both. Thank you for the opportunity.
This was a very informative online class. I am a California resident, but I found the information from the Univ. of Toronto, and other Canada based organization, outstanding. I do have a Master in Kinesiology and Osteoartritis. This was a perfect class to take to review and learn more about the need for exercise, good nutrition, and working with a physical therapist to improve my health.
This course provided a great introduction to the benefits of physical therapy and exercise in general and for specific populations (individuals with cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, cancer, sports injuries, and arthritis). I really liked the range of learning resources (videos, external links, quizzes, discussion forums, etc.) incorporated throughout the course!
A very informative and interesting course which give us knowledge about the injuries and diseases which are common to part of life and also through this course we educate ourselves about Physical Therapy and its benefits in managing health related issues through exercise.
Great course! Good variety of instructors.filled with good resources and teaching is pretty easy to follow. Would recommend to anyone even if you are not a physiotherapist; anyone can pick up something to help you improve your overall health
Excellent course. I have enjoyed this course and learned a lot about physical therapy and its uses and being a physiotherapy student it's so much informative for me
This is great
La kinésithérapie et l’exercice physique sont deux leviers puissants et complémentaires pour préserver, restaurer et optimiser la santé humaine. La kinésithérapie ne se limite pas à la rééducation après blessure : elle joue un rôle préventif majeur, en corrigeant les déséquilibres musculaires, en améliorant la posture et en enseignant des mouvements sûrs et efficaces. Elle est souvent le premier rempart contre la chronicité des douleurs musculo-squelettiques. De son côté, l’exercice physique est une forme de « médicament universel » : il améliore le métabolisme, le moral, la cognition, le sommeil, l’immunité… Sa régularité est associée à une vie plus longue et en meilleure santé. Ce que je trouve particulièrement puissant, c’est leur complémentarité : la kinésithérapie répare et guide, l’exercice consolide et protège. Ensemble, ils permettent non seulement de guérir, mais aussi de devenir plus fort qu’avant. C’est une approche moderne, proactive et durable de la santé. Elle replace le patient au cœur de sa propre guérison, en lui donnant des outils concrets pour bouger mieux, plus, et plus intelligemment. J en profite ici encore une fois de plus remercier toutes de Coursera et en particulier Les Physiothérapeutes de l'Université de Toronto
