"The Many Physical Benefits to PCN Exercise Program"

About: McLeod River PCN - Edson / Kinesiology / Exercise Therapy

(as a service user),

Following heart surgery a few years ago, I gained weight due to sedentary. To help lose weight I was prescribed medication. Though I lost weight, I also lost muscle mass. I was concerned about other side effects and stopped the medication.

My family doctor and the PCN nurse practitioner recommended I attend an exercise program.

Last spring, I attended a 10-week session in which I felt my strength, mobility, endurance and balance improved while rebuilding my muscle mass.

Because of these health benefits I felt last time, when I was offered the chance to attend another session, I said yes; and I will start again shortly.

Things I liked about the program: the facility location and program time were both good, the instructor was excellent, and the equipment was appropriate for the actives being lead through.

I know of no other program in my community that offers this kind of support to improve physical health and would encourage others to attend.
