Designing Our Health Programmes
Everyone Active hosts a range of selected social activities and programmes that best support all low to high-risk long term health conditions. We are continually engaging with the alliance
to improve, increase and extend our provision across the district.
There are 24 Health conditions our co-provided healthy ageing provisions will target. Some of those conditions are listed below. If you are currently living with a long-term health condition and
concerned about what you can and can’t do, this programme has been designed for you and is delivered by our specialised staff.
We are continually engaging with our partners and customers quarterly in structured strategic meetings to improve, increase and extend our provision to best address individual health needs.
Testimonials
Don’t just take our word for it! See what those taking part in the programme think below:
“The good boost class is brilliant!!! It has definitely benefitted me.”
Over the past few months Claire has attended Good Boost sessions at Victory Swim and Fitness Centre. Her subsequent hip pain has improved so much she is now able to take her dog for regular walks, which was something she was unable to do before staring the programme.
At the beginning of the Good Boost sessions Claire struggled to use the tablet or technology, but quite quickly became independent and is now able to login and create bespoke programmes based on her specific needs. Not only has Claire’s balance improved but her range of motion has increased significantly.
Claire highly recommends Good Boost to all people with musculoskeletal problems and attends weekly each Wednesday at Victory Swim and Fitness Centre.
“I really enjoyed it and I liked how it was personalised to a person. I will definitely be coming again, and I would highly recommend it for people with similar health problems. The tablet was easy to use, especially as I had an instructor with me to help.”
Paula has arthritis in her knees and has been using the pool based Good Boost for rehabilitation and pain management. Paula wishes everyone who has similar pain and mobility issues to give it a go.
