What sets our programme apart from other care home plans is its exclusive focus on isometric training, an approach grounded in proven theory and extensive research. In collaboration with wellness coaches and external professionals, we’ve developed an inclusive programme that emphasises isometric exercises and fitness challenges tailored to improve health.
Isometric exercises involve muscle contractions without any movement in the surrounding joints, making this a safer and more effective method for building strength. This type of training is achieved by applying a resistive force to the active limb, countering the muscle’s natural motion. The reduced movement and low impact on the joints make isometric training an ideal option for the frail, immobile, or those at risk of falling. Additionally, it serves as an excellent bridging activity for individuals recovering from illness, injury, or surgery, stimulating muscle growth and activating brain areas associated with muscle function.
We look forward to sharing more about this comprehensive initiative, which promotes a fulfilling, enriching lifestyle for all our residents.
