Rehab Wellness Program

The Hernando County Family YMCA is proud to offer this special program designed to help those with special needs. Any member who has a special need due to health problems such as stroke, M.S., auto accidents, or simple everyday mobility limitations can benefit from this program, after they have completed a physician monitored physical therapy program or have been referred to us by their physician directly. The instructors are NOT physical therapist or doctors, but are certified personal trainers who can modify a member's program based on the recommendations of their physician. The rehab wellness program consists of one on one instruction with an instructor to assist members through strength training as well as cardiovascular equipment. A completed medical clearance form must be presented before session can begin.
