What is Exercise/Activity Referral?

If you are inactive or suffer from a stable medical condition, exercise referral could help you take some simple steps towards feeling fitter and healthier.

Your GP or other Health Professional can refer you directly to one of the classes near you, where our knowledge and experience will help you on the way to a fitter and healthier life. An introduction to exercise through the referral path can give increased confidence, working with instructors who know how to approach your individual requirements.

How can it help you?

Regular exercise offers wide ranging benefits for your health but can also aid in the management and treatment of a number of conditions. We have successfully worked with patients referred for the following reasons:

  • Weight loss
  • Hyper-tension (high blood-pressure)
  • Cardiac Risk Factors
  • Musclo-skeletal injuries
  • Osteo-arthritis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Diabetes
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Stroke

  • Cerebral-palsy
  • Multiple-sclerosis

How can I join the activity referral scheme?

  • To join you need to visit your GP, Practice nurse or other Health Care Professional to see if you are eligible. If they feel it is appropriate they will complete a Referral form for you.
  • Contact us and we will be happy to arrange a consultation where we will give you some simple health checks and discuss your goals and exercise options.
