Rotherwood Healthcare, an award-winning healthcare provider, is excited to announce the official launch of its Rotherwood Wellness Programme, a pioneering initiative designed to enhance the health and well-being of residents across its care homes. This programme’s exclusive focus on isometric training sets it apart from other care home providers. This proven method uses muscle contractions without movement in the surrounding joints—making it a safer and more effective option for building strength and improving mobility.
The Rotherwood Wellness Programme, developed in collaboration with experienced wellness coaches and external professionals, focuses on providing tailored exercise routines for residents of all fitness levels. Isometric exercises, which place minimal strain on joints, are particularly beneficial for individuals who are frail, have limited mobility, or are at risk of falling. These low-impact exercises can help residents safely improve strength and stability.
“At Rotherwood, we are always looking for ways to improve and enrich the lives of our residents,” said Sharen Guise, Chief Operating Officer at Rotherwood Healthcare.
“The Rotherwood Wellness Programme is an innovative approach that not only focuses on physical fitness but also promotes overall well-being. Isometric training offers a highly inclusive and safe exercise method, and we’re proud to introduce this groundbreaking initiative to our homes.
We look forward to seeing the positive impact this comprehensive initiative will have on our residents,”
The Rotherwood Operations Team, along with external professionals, has developed an intricate exercise plan featuring a variety of isometric exercises designed to suit all needs and levels. To ensure residents can engage with the programme at their own pace, the exercise routines are accompanied by easy-to-follow videos that the Lifestyle teams will frequently run throughout our homes. This makes the programme flexible, user-friendly, and easily integrated into daily routines.
Rotherwood Healthcare are also extended the programme to include a focus on nutrition and diet, with the catering team working hard to develop a new range of products that promote healthy eating. From nutritious fruity smoothies to refreshing juices, there’s something for everyone to enjoy and get involved with.
