Crewe Lifestyle Centre has welcomed a new post-COVID rehabilitation exercise programme - thanks to a contract from a new Cheshire collaboration.

Operators, Everybody Health and Leisure, have secured a contract from Central Cheshire Integrated Care Partnership to deliver a Post-COVID Rehabilitation Exercise programme.

The Central Cheshire Integrated care Partnership is a new collaboration between MCHFT, CWP, and the South Cheshire and Vale Royal GP Alliance.

Everybody Health and Leisure will be delivering the six-week exercise and education programme.

This forms part of an overall Post-COVID hub delivered by the NHS.

Senior Manager of Health Innovation at Everybody Health and Leisure, Donna Williamson, said:

"The programme supports patients who have been diagnosed with Post COVID in their road to recovery. 

"The aim is to support patients back to full function, prevent long-term disability and improve quality of life and is delivered by trained specialist exercise instructors in Long COVID. 

"The exercise is tailored to each individual patient, so don't worry if you don't feel you can exercise."

Once patients have completed the programme, they can continue attending Everybody's Rehabilitation Exercise classes, aiding progression and offering long-term support.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation Team Lead, Jane Wilmer, said: "The Post Covid Recovery Service in Mid Cheshire is delighted to be working in partnership with Everybody Health and Leisure.

"The exercise and education programme will be an integral part of the service we offer patients, to aid their recovery."

The six-week programme is also being held at Macclesfield Leisure Centre.

Patients are required to attend twice a week to gain maximum benefit.
