Online Therapy is a new service offered by Alwyndor.
‘Some people who attend our groups were concerned about the enforced social isolation caused by COVID-19 and were eager to recommence their regular exercise programs’ recalls Alison - Alwyndor Therapy & Wellness Team Leader
For our clients, attending group wellness classes is not only a time to stay fit but a time to connect with their community. Frequent exercise and socialising are vital in maintaining physical and mental health.
To maintain flexibility and fitness, keep minds active and focused, and stay in touch with group members and instructors, iPads are available for loan to Alwyndor clients.
Once set up by staff, clients can virtually take part in group wellness classes and interact with class instructors online.
I can't get out of cars, so online therapy was a perfect option for me! I’ve found it challenging - which is what it should be in order to build my strength. It’s getting my body back to how it was when I used to come to the gym before.
For $10 a week (including iPad hire), online therapy participants can attend multiple classes a week. ‘The objective is to ensure that clients maintain their fitness, endurance, strength and build their skills,’ says Alison.
