The Rutland Active Referral Scheme is a personalised physical activity programme supporting people aged 16+ who are inactive with long-term health conditions. Physical activity is considered safe, even if you have a long-term health condition. We will triage you into the most suitable activity based on your medical history and importantly what you enjoy doing. Some examples of programmes that you can access include:
- Exercise Referral: 12-week personalised physical activity programme supporting people aged 16+ who are inactive with long-term health conditions.
- Steady Steps: 24-week programme tailored for people aged 65+ who have fallen or worry about falling and is designed to help improve strength, balance and stability. Steady Steps Pre and Steady Steps Plus classes are also available to cater for all levels.
- Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation: Group based exercise programme for people who have experienced a cardiac event to continue rehabilitation after completing the hospital phase 3 programme.
- Community Sessions: We can also signpost to suitable community-based activities.
