Mobility is easy to take for granted until it’s lost or diminished. When it becomes challenging to get out of bed, walk up steps, reach into a cupboard, or hang up washing, it’s easy to feel disheartened.

There’s so much Feros Care can do to help. For example, this is when an exercise and balance program led by a clinical specialist, such as a physiotherapist or exercise physiologist, can have a positive impact. For many of us though, it can be challenging to find the time to visit an expert for personalised advice.

Thankfully, at Feros Care, there is a team of physiotherapists and exercise physiologists to assist you, with mobility from the comfort of home.

Feros Care and Virtual Social Centre (VSC) client Lorelle enjoys staying active and understands how crucial it is to maintain good health.

She also acknowledges that as you age, moving your body becomes more difficult and, in contrast, injuring yourself becomes a lot easier.

Fortunately, she discovered the VSC’s online health and wellness sessions facilitated by experienced clinical specialists. She can pick and choose from a variety of classes based on her availability, plus skip the hassle and travel time.

And for Lorelle, along with many others, the results speak for themselves.

The fittest of them all


Besides having fun and feeling energised after a VSC class, Lorelle was thrilled to hear her GP’s feedback after completing the over-75 medical assessment.

The glowing results exceeded her expectations and are a true testament to the platform’s qualified clinical team.

“They told me I was 2kg lighter than I was at my medical last year, and that I was the fittest patient in my category,” she says.

“My blood pressure is where it should be and all round, I got a big tick!”

Worth their weight in gold


Lorelle has gained so much from taking a leap of faith into the VSC world. She encourages others who want to improve their health and wellbeing to give it a go, and let the clinical specialists do what they do best.

“They make a real difference and I like that I don’t have to travel anywhere to exercise. You can do the sessions while you have a load of washing going – and you can do them in your daggy shorts!”
