GP Referral

 

Our exercise referral scheme is a progressive exercise programme. The programme is a service offered by Tees Active and is supported by Northumberland Care Trust ( in Berwick- Upon-Tweed). It is offered in conjunction with local GP’s and Health Practitioners. The scheme will help you manage and control your medical condition, health, lifestyle and well being.

 

 

What happens at the initial consultation?

The information collected during the appointment allows us to prescribe a course of exercise that is entirely suited to your needs. You will be asked further questions about your health and lifestyle and we will discuss with you the type of physical activity that would be beneficial.

 

What types of activities will be included?

Light exercise classes, water based activities such as Aquafit and Swimming and use of our Activ8 gyms.

 

The exercise programme.

Depending upon your needs you will be encouraged to exercise between 1 – 3 times per week at a level you can cope with. Throughout the programme your progress will be monitored and you will be given continued advice and encouragement. At the end of the scheme you will be required to attend a final consultation to assess your progress and discuss how you can be supported further by attending our follow on main stream activities and services. Hopefully at this stage physical activity will have become an enjoyable part of your everyday lifestyle, and you will continue to improve your health and well being independently.
