Our exercise referral service can help you manage your long-term medical condition or disability with a prescriptive programme of activity.
Each programme lasts 12 weeks or longer and includes support, assistance and supervision as required from specialist exercise professionals.
Your tailored programme might include gym-based exercise sessions, exercise classes, or online courses that you can follow from home. There is a cost for the sessions, except for the free home-based exercise sessions.
