Changing Lives through the Healthy Life Programme

Dec 10, 2024 | News

The Healthy Life referral programme helps individuals living with conditions such as Type 2 Diabetes, Parkinson’s Disease, and Musculoskeletal health (MSK), by improving their overall mobility and well-being.

Steve Little, our Healthy Life coach, collaborates with health service providers to raise awareness of how we can support these individuals. 

We currently have a number of people on the programme, but we have an inspirational story from Alan Jackson, 72, who suffered two strokes in 2022.

Keen to get his mobility back, he joined the programme in October and has been supported by Steve.

On his first day at the centre, Alan faced two flights of stairs to reach the gym, but instead of taking the lift, Steve encouraged him to walk up. He made it but struggled.  

Fast forward just one month, and Alan is now walking up those stairs without any support. What an incredible achievement.

With a tailored plan of three 45-minute weekly gym sessions, home exercises, and the occasional workout class, Alan has already made incredible progress.

Alan shared his appreciation for Steve’s support:

“Without Steve’s motivation and guidance, I’d be doing all the wrong things and I would have failed at the first hurdle.

“Steve’s giving me the right exercises and between us we are working out how my right side can become stronger. He has learnt what my limits are, without over pushing me.”

Alan’s long-term goal is to be able to once again go dancing with his wife Patricia, and with the help of Steve and the Healthy Life Programme, he is on the right track.
