Advanced technology has essentially engineered activity out of our lifestyle and we have become a very sedentary society. Even the 1996 Surgeon General's Report stated emphatically: "Inactivity is harmful to your health." Now the good news! Contemporary research clearly shows that regardless of age, those who participate in regular moderate exercise/activity find that many of the commonly accepted negative manifestations of aging not only can be prevented, but even reversed! With more and more consumers demanding new strategies for healing coupled with health care providers being forced to curb spiraling costs, a new approach to health care is emerging -- it's called wellness.

Each sponsoring organization has its own unique personality. That's precisely why our firm spends considerable time getting to know clients so that each wellness application is tailored to fit the situation. Once we have gathered vital information, we then enroll both staff and residents in an educational process. We educate everyone in the organization so that each understands the core principles of wellness. Our objective is to make wellness an integral part of the organization's mission and lifestyle. We then seek program leadership -- a key ingredient to success. Once identified, we spend one-on-one time training this person. This involves everything from safety and medical issues, to pre-exercise assessments and motivational techniques. Depending on the physical and financial resources available, we then sort through space considerations and make recommendations for equipment. All of the above culminates in a carefully crafted wellness program that addresses strength, balance, flexibility, and endurance. A system for tracking outcomes is applied to each program which serves as a huge motivator for participants plus a marketing tool for the organization. To assure success, we monitor the program for several months and continue to keep our clients informed about wellness trends and opportunities. |
