Wellness Program
Discover Your Potential is a monthly wellness membership program for people who have medical conditions or would like to exercise in a medically-supervised environment.
Having a medical condition or limited mobility doesn’t mean you have to stop exercising. In many cases, exercise can enhance management of a particular condition or speed the recovery process. People who are managing these health conditions can benefit from a medically-supervised wellness program:
- Cancer
- Cardiac conditions
- Chronic pin
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Diabetes
- Fibromyalgia
- Gastric bypass recovery
- General musculoskeletal disorders
- Low-back pain
- Obesity
- Osteoarthritis
- Osteoporosis
- Postnatal recovery
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Stress-related illnesses
- Stroke
Exercise can plan an important role in recovery by strengthening weak muscles, enhancing overall wellness, and boosting self-esteem.
Getting Started
It’s easy to begin our medically-supervised exercise program. Just ask your doctor to complete a referral form with recommendations about your exercise needs and limitations. Once you have clearance, one of our nurses and a licensed rehabilitation professional will set up a meeting assess your needs and create a personalized exercise program and wellness goals for you.
Next Steps
After three months in our program, you’ll be encouraged to continue exercising at the Illinois Valley YMCA. As a special benefit, you won’t have to pay the enrollment fee. If you’re not able or choose not to enroll in the YMCA, you can still continue the Discover Your Potential program.
