Healthy Lifestyle and Wellness Program
Think you’re ok – but could you be better?
There are many advantages to being older. This is when you have more time for family, friends, travel, hobbies, and other things you've wanted to do for a while. Not to mention you're wiser, and more experienced.
Wellbeing is as important now as any other stage of life. People can experience many changes in their older years – living arrangements, physical health, brain function and memory, among others. So, it's important to devote the time to looking after yourself.
And, let’s face it! Your body isn’t what it used to be. Your 20’s with all of its youth and vigour seem to be a distant memory. Aches and pains are starting to abound in your daily life. Your trim waistline now looks more like a four-lane highway. You may even feel helpless as you officially stamp your card for the 70 or 80 plus club! But there’s hope!
There are definitely things you can do to find support, and for older people registered with My Aged Care, Neighbourhood Central has a program that fits the bill!
The Healthy Lifestyle and Wellness Program will offer a variety of relaxing and enjoyable activities to increase health and wellbeing for older people living in Parkes, Forbes, Condobolin and Peak Hill.
Some of the activities include hydrotherapy, Tai Chi, yoga in a chair, music and singing groups, and modified exercise, as well as information workshops that will increase health awareness and promote falls prevention strategies, combined with light exercise sessions – all of which aim to prevent or delay further entry into the aged care system, make you feel good and keep you living in your home for longer.
It’s popular these days to say, “exercise is for everybody.” But is that really true? Can it really be practiced by everyone? Even those who, due to age, inflexibility, or injury, need to practice completely from a chair?
Absolutely!
We understand that each person is different, and we will accommodate to all levels of ability.
The faces behind the Healthy Lifestyle and Wellness Program – Louise Tosetti and Rachel Brown are here to help and will be ably assisted by the lovely experts at Kerin Physio who will conduct an initial screening and intake before people can take part.
So, don’t let aging stop you from having the best body and living the best life you can live. If you are over 65, or 50 years or older for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, and you’re having trouble with everyday tasks and feel that getting back into the community, or participating in a little exercise and some fun activities could improve your health and wellbeing, give Louise or Rachel a call now on 6862 3757 to register.
There will be limited numbers available for each session, so make sure you get in quick to secure your spot!
