Physical Sense Supports
Senior Well-being
SPECIAL SUPER GOLD CARD OFFER
Eight yEars ago, the Physical sense
gym and Physio in sydenham, created
a program to help stroke survivors.
Their specialised exercise program was
established to work in collaboration with
the Burwood stroke rehabilitation team.
Participants raved so much about the
classes and the benefits they experienced
from this exercise program that it has
now grown from 1 weekly class to 4
classes weekly. New classes have also been
added to be effective for those who have
suffered from Osteoporosis, intermittent
Claudication, and Diabetes. On top of
that they also run 4 weekly classes for
seniors. These weekly rehabilitation and
injury prevention classes can lead to
continued gym membership at a reduced
cost. Participants may also be eligible for
a WiNZ subsidy to pay for the continued
gym membership with their super
gold card.
Physical sense’s latest initiative is the
“Centre for senior Wellbeing”. here you
can get all the information needed to
make sure that you (or your parents)
can keep on living independently. it is
a “walk-in” information centre where
the staff are happy to connect you
to the services you need to; -prevent
falling, -make adjustments to home and
surroundings, -reduce pain, -stay mobile,
care for your feet.
Join one of the classes and increase
your strength and mobility or just come
in to find out more about what assistance
is available for you.
One class participant Margie said. “i
can’t say enough about them. i think
they are absolutely marvelous, very
patient, great sense of humour, very
supportive”. Not only are you supported
by the knowledgeable, well trained
staff, but you will make new friends
and enjoy participants with a positive,
“can-do” attitude. These classmates are
there for themselves but also to support
members in their class to be able to have
success and feel the benefits of doing this
program together. it all starts with a free
assessment on Monday at 11.30 am where
