About ProActive
ProActive is the name for the Physical Activity on Referral scheme in Somerset. The scheme helps people living with health conditions to become more active in a safe and structured environment.
Supporting people to become more physically active has many physical and mental health benefits, some of which include:
- Improved heart and lung health
- Lowered risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes
- Weight management or weight loss
- Lowered blood pressure
- Improved fitness, including muscle strength and joint flexibility
- Boosted mental health and overall feelings of wellbeing
Through the ProActive Physical Activity on Referral Scheme, Somerset residents living with health conditions will be given the opportunity to improve their overall health and more specifically, be provided with strategies to manage or improve symptoms as well as achieve specific rehabilitation goals. ProActive uses targeted exercises prescribed by highly qualified Exercise on Referral fitness professionals to help participants achieve this.
This is what makes physical activity on referral a unique and specialist offer.
