What is Rotherwood’s Wellness
Programme?

At Rotherwood Healthcare, our innovative wellness programme sets a new standard in care by focusing exclusively on isometric training, an evidence-based approach designed to enhance physical and mental wellbeing.

Developed in collaboration with experienced wellness coaches and external professionals, this inclusive programme emphasises exercises and challenges that are both accessible and impactful, particularly for those who are frail, immobile, or recovering from illness or surgery.

Beyond its physical advantages, the programme plays a vital role in enhancing cognitive function, reducing agitation, and promoting mental wellbeing through the release of endorphins and neurotransmitters that lift mood and relieve stress.

Whether helping residents recover strength and confidence after a short stay or supporting long-term health and independence, our wellness programme fosters a proactive approach to care.

It is designed not only to protect and maintain residents’ abilities but also to enrich their daily lives, ensuring they can enjoy a fulfilling and active lifestyle. At Rotherwood Healthcare, we believe in adding years to life and life to years, delivering care that prioritises both longevity and quality of living.

What is Isometric Training?

Isometric training involves muscle contractions without joint movement, reducing impact on the body while delivering significant benefits, including improved strength, balance, and stability.

This approach is ideal for mitigating the risk of falls and fractures, alleviating joint pain from conditions such as arthritis, and boosting overall mobility and cardiovascular health.
