Dutch term

verantwoord bewegen

Dutch to English Medical Medical: Health Care
This is taken from a report into someone who has suffered injuries in a car crash.

He has been provided with "Informatie m.b.t. groepshydrotherapie bij het verantwoord bewegen in water".

The document goes on to explain that "Het doel van verantwoord bewegen in water is: komen tot vermindering van pijn, verbetering van kracht, mobiliteit en konditie tot het probleem in het bewegingsapparaat, afhankelijk van de verwijzing van de arts".

This idea of "verantwoord bewegen" seems to be a set concept in physiotherapy - I'm just not sure on the equivalent English expression.

exercising sensibly

"Verantwoord bewegen" is trendy terminology used to describe the necessity of exercise, but not so strenuously as to cause injury; one should not overdo it. In this sense it means "safe" or "smart".
