Encore has recently introduced its "Senior Division". Encore's Senior Division provides exercise programs designed to help improve the lifestyle and increase or maintain physical function in older adults based on that individuals physical and mental needs. All sessions involve Encore trainers going to the nursing and assisted living homes and programs may involve walking around the room, taking longer walks outdoors when the weather is favorable, using a leg or arm bike, using exercise bands or hand weights, and the list goes on. Clients can increase walking endurance; muscular strength and endurance exercises can improve posture. Balance exercises can help to prevent falls. Flexibility exercise can increase range of motion at a given joint, even if the older adult is confined to a chair or bed. Any improvement in an older adult's physical function will result in a more comfortable and rewarding quality of life, and increased independence.
