Re-Connect is a community-based stroke rehabilitation service run by Clinical Exercise Physiologist Anna Hobman, with the help of a Personal Trainer and a wonderful, trained volunteer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Re-Connect caters for all people who have been affected by stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The goals of our program are firstly to prevent further stroke. Then, to prevent further loss of muscle size and strength due to immobility, and to help you regain as much of your physical and cognitive functioning as possible, ultimately improving your quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Participants are individually assessed before entering the Recovery Program. They then follow personalised exercise regimes in classes of up to 5 people twice per week. The work is focused, effortful and closely supervised.
Not only does Re-Connect help with your physical rehabilitation, but we are building a community where people with stroke belong and feel connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s what some people have said about our group:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRe-Connect rehabilitation classes are the highlight of my week! The well-quali\u00adfied trainers are exceptional. They are incredibly supportive and caring as they provide appropriate exercises for each person\u2019s individual needs. …classes are full of fun and encouragement. I would recommend it to anyone who has had a stroke – Re-Connect is very welcoming! \u201c – Janet<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRe-Connect stroke rehab exercise classes is something I look forward to and enjoy each week. The staff are friendly, caring people and the classes are a lot of fun. I have been ‘kept on my heels’ and it has motivated me to extend my physical limits beyond what I thought I was capable of. Re-Connect classes are quite the social highlight of my week and a lot of fun.\u201d – David<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> October 2019 we successfully launched our #DontBeTheOneNZ Stroke Prevention Campaign with the help of Auckland University of Technology and the World Stroke Organisation. The Campaign is an all-encompassing, non-ego driven campaign that will work in collaboration with other Health & activity-based organisations to promote the common messages of taking healthy lifestyle choices as a prevention strategy for many diseases and health issues, including but not exclusive to Stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Together\nwe will increase the level of healthy activity for Kiwi\u2019s and reduce the health\nrisks that our population will face if we are not proactive in promoting a\nhealthy lifestyle in a way that can engage our public. Reducing the risk of\nstroke and similar health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
