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