Safe Exercise at Every Stage (SEES)

Authors

Alanah Dobinson, Marita Cooper, Danika Quesnel

The SEES guidelines are evidence-based clinical tools developed to support clinicians and exercise professionals in safely integrating exercise into the treatment of individuals with eating disorders. They provide a structured approach to assess physical and psychological risk and determine appropriate exercise interventions at each stage of recovery. The guidelines are available in versions tailored for general populations, athletes, and youth.

What this tool is good for:

The SEES guidelines are useful for clinicians, exercise physiologists, and multidisciplinary teams to make informed, individualized decisions about exercise during eating disorder treatment. They help ensure that exercise is introduced safely and appropriately, reducing the risk of harm and supporting overall recovery. The guidelines are also valuable for training and educating healthcare professionals on managing exercise in the context of eating disorders.
