Our services Physical support Physical Rehab and Support We support people that need physical help in a number of ways from our: BodyBasic assisted exercise suite; Virtual reality rehabilitation sessions; YouGrabber and Berkel Bike. After my operation, my balance and mobility were badly affected. I had to rely on others to get around. Since using BodyBasic I can now walk unassisted and for a lot further. This means I can join my family when they go out walking which is something I have always enjoyed. BodyBasic Assisted Exercise Suite Power assisted exercise equipment is specifically designed for people with physical disabilities who need to exercise but could not or would not access a conventional gym. BodyBasic comprises of 16 specifically designed assisted exercise machines, a treadmill and a balance board. This technology allows a person to exercise in three modes; completely passively for those who are immobile to exercise with minimum effort required. The benefits of the BodyBasic Assisted Exercise suite are: Increased functional capacity Improved circulation Increased mobility and co-ordination Increased muscle strength, increased general health, fitness and wellbeing Improved mood and self-esteem Reduction in the risk of stroke, heart disease, hypertension and diabetes.
