Hostel Nursing Home Chair Based Exercise Program

We have recently conducted chair based "quiz ball" exercise programs at a number of hostel/nursing homes for the TLC Aged Care Group at the Homestead and The Homestead Lakes in Wallington, the Homewood in Hallam and in the New Year a session will be conducted at Homestead Manor in Noble Park. Sessions include chair based exercise programs for up to 30 residents coupled with reflex, reaction games and era related quiz questions. The exercise programhas been devised and implemented by Tom O'Halloran Physiotherapist in conjuction with Bryan O'Halloran Principal Physiotherapist of Pain Relief and Physical Therapy of Philadelphia USA. Sessions are conducted by John O'Halloran Principal Trainer of 12W Fitness and are conducted at the nursing home/hostel for approximately 40 minutes. Sessions are designed to maximize interaction between residents in a fun environment..... gentle chair based exercise coupled with stretching, reflexes and exercise of the mind!!
