Move with Retrofit: New Home-Based Fitness Training (HBFT) Service for Better Quality of Life
- Written by Media Outreach
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 19 October 2023 - Life's journey is intrinsically linked to movement — an essential element that connects us with the evolving world. In this dynamic landscape, Retrofit, a rehabilitation and fitness solution provider, emerges as a beacon of hope, empowering people to embrace a superior quality of life through enhanced mobility. Its Home-Based Fitness Training (HBFT) service, jointly performed by its Exercise Specialists and certified physiotherapists, is curated to offer personalised strength training exercise sessions that integrate seamlessly into daily routines from the comfort of one’s own home.
Elevating Life Through Regular Movement
By upholding the idea that movement is an integral part of our journey through life, one can truly unlock the potential for a more enriched existence, and Retrofit fully embraces this philosophy.
1. The Positive Impacts on Physical Health
The positive impacts of regular movement extend far beyond the gym or the yoga mat. They infiltrate our daily lives, effortlessly enhancing tasks that may seem mundane — like lifting groceries or leisurely strolling. The influence of consistent movement extends even to the aspects less openly discussed, such as the realm of digestive well-being.
According to the National University Hospital, some easy ways to improve gut health include simply increasing the fibre in one's diet and drinking more water. However, exercise is equally effective as it stimulates the colon. If necessary, physiotherapists can also teach individuals exercises to retrain the 'pooping' muscles (pelvic floor dyssynergia) for their coordination.
Furthermore, exercise is also beneficial to the proper functioning of the colon. Studies have indicated that exercise can potentially mitigate the risk of certain colon-related concerns. From promoting regular bowel movements to reducing the likelihood of constipation, exercise offers a multifaceted approach to sustaining colon health.
2. Enhancing Mental Well-Being
Beyond its visible effects on physical health, engaging in regular exercise has also emerged as a dynamic catalyst for nurturing mental clarity and emotional stability. The release of endorphins — a cascade of natural, feel-good neurotransmitters — surges through the body during exercise. This natural remedy acts as a counterbalance to the challenges of modern life, equipping individuals with a powerful tool to combat the overwhelming tide of stressors.
Retrofit's Exercise Specialists Unite with Physiotherapists
Recognising the significance and advantages of regular movement, Retrofit's Exercise Specialists have collaborated with physiotherapists to unlock a new dimension of care — one that addresses musculoskeletal conditions, post-surgery rehabilitation, chronic diseases, and neurological disorders.
Each HBT journey begins with a thorough assessment. This assessment dives deep into the individual needs, physical limitations, and any existing injuries. Armed with these insights, personalised recommendations are meticulously tailored, ensuring that every movement is purposeful and aligned with the individual's unique circumstances.
Moreover, the partnership extends its wings to encompass the vital realm of injury prevention and rehabilitation. By closely intertwining the knowledge of Exercise Specialists with the insights of physiotherapists, Retrofit crafts training programmes that are not just transformative but also protective.
“Our mission is to empower individuals on a journey of transformation," says James Lee, Head of Home-Based Fitness Training at Retrofit. "The collaboration with physiotherapists amplifies our ability to craft tailored programmes that cater to diverse needs."
Retrofit’s HBFT revolutionises how seniors engage with physical activity, offering a bespoke path that embraces their unique abilities, health conditions, and needs.
