Benefits of strong & steady exercise programme

"Benefits of strong & steady exercise programme"

About: Eastern Health Community Services

(as the patient),

I am in my 60s and have been fortunate enough to be a member of an Eastern Health Community Care Physio programme - Strong & Steady. The exercises in this programme, offered twice a week online over 45 minute sessions, are to assist me to keep active with my rheumatoid arthritis and "dicky" knees, and prepare me for better health outcomes as I age.

I am pleased to notice that I feel energised after each session, and am motivated to fit in an extra session on my own each week whilst watching a webinar or the evening news.

In my opinion, a great initiative from Eastern Health and long may it continue!

Dear moonjh55,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share the positive impact the Eastern Health Community Care Physio program is having on your health and wellbeing.

Hearing feedback on your experience makes me very proud of our staff and the services they provide, and with the need to change to have programs such as this to an online format, it's reassuring to hear that you continue to receive real and lasting benefits from it.

It will give me great pleasure to share your comments with the team as I'm sure this will mean a lot to them as well.

Take care and keep looking after yourself and those 'dicky knees'!

Kind regards

David
