The Fit2Function program is a 10-week community-based exercise program currently offered through the Acadia Center of Lifestyle Studies (COLS) in collaboration with NSHealth. Sessions are co-led by a Clinical Exercise Physiologist (CEP) and a NSHealth Seniors LINCS Physiotherapist (PT). Each session is scheduled for one-hour, two times per week and includes a warm-up, aerobic endurance, muscle strengthening using light resistance, a stretching cool-down meeting the current physical recommendations for the management of physical frailty. This program is suitable for individuals living with frailty and may require more assistance with activities of daily living. It is offered in three locations.
Kinesiologists (CSEP-CEP) with the Acadia Centre of Lifestyle Studies provide patients and community members the opportunity to work one-on-one in a clinical setting to navigate ways to live a healthy-active lifestyle. Work with a Kinesiologist to build an appropriate exercise routine to meet your goals and lifestyle.
Patients are referred to the Kinesiologist by their respective Practitioners at the Berwick Family Practice, Harvest Tides or the Wolfville Professional Centre. Alternatively, community members can complete a Self-Referral Form and a Kinesiologist will arrange an in-take appointment at the Wolfville Professional Centre.
