Transitional Wellness Program

peterson-health-wellness-center-transitional-wellness-program

The Transitional Wellness Program at the Peterson Health Wellness Center transitions patients from formal therapy with Peterson Rehabilitation to exercising independently with the support of a personal trainer.

“As we grow older and reach retirement age it is so easy to slip into a sedentary lifestyle which in turn can speed the aging process. The Transitional Wellness Program, such as that offered by Peterson Health in Kerrville, is the perfect solution to fight the dangers of inactivity. After an illness or injury that has required Physical Therapy, a wellness program helps to build and maintain strength and fitness to combat any decline. At 76 years of age, the wellness program that I am undertaking is helping me to stay active and avoid any potential perils of growing older.” – Martin Burniston, Peterson Transitional Wellness Patient

Work out equipment available includes nustep, recumbent bike, treadmill, elliptical, arm bike, state-of-the-art weight machines, free weights, and more.

Participants must be referred by a therapist and have the ability to exercise independently.

Personal trainers will provide exercise programs, equipment instruction, and answer any exercise-related questions. Trainers will also monitor blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels. In addition, oxygen is available to patients as needed.

Application and liability waiver must be submitted prior to first session. Periodic assessments will determine continued participation in the program.

What patients say about Peterson Health

When I called 911 that evening, I honestly prepared myself to not see my dad alive again after that due to how quickly and severely he had fallen sick. After his negative COVID results came back, I walked into his ER room about 30 minutes after we arrived and he was alert (he was even smiling!) and receiving the necessary medications and treatments to help him. Immediately, everyone began helping him as a TEAM between each department quickly and efficiently to ensure my dad was taken care of and comfortable. It's almost like they were Angels bringing him back to me! I knew he was in the very BEST hands! My dad hasn't stopped talking about how greatly his opinion of Peterson hospital has changed after the phenomenal care he's received over the past couple of days. He said everyone is being so helpful and caring, thoughtful, and shows its a TEAM effort! He has so much more respect for PRMC and the staff and is so appreciative of everyone. He didn't stop bragging on how helpful and nice everyone has been to him and our family.
