Get Well ... Stay Well

While our therapy programs can help you “get well,” our Wellness programs are designed to help you “stay well” and healthy! Although these programs are supervised by our rehabilitation staff, they are not formal rehabilitation. They are more of a personal gym membership that focuses on your general health and fitness. Participants are usually former Rehab patients who desire ongoing “aftercare” support while transitioning to an independent fitness program. However, you do not have to be a former Rehab patient and anyone may join as a “Wellness” member. We offer five Wellness programs and a variety of membership options.

Aquatic Wellness Program

Supervised group classes allow participants to work within a class or independently on aquatic exercises in warm water indoor pools. Benefits of exercising in water include: decreased impact on weight bearing joints, improved endurance and strength, maintaining or improving muscle tone and balance, and weight management.

• Appropriate Participants — Independent exercisers, including former Aquatic Therapy patients
• Requirements — Able to enter and exit the pool independently; thermal regulate in warm water, and be continent of bladder and bowel
• Locations — Chino Hills Outpatient Clinic, La Verne Outpatient Clinic

Cardiovascular-Pulmonary Wellness Program

Exercise in medically supervised fitness gyms located at PVHMC. Exercise physiologists and respiratory therapists provide a pre-participation health screening and risk stratification, blood pressure assessments, and establish individually tailored exercise prescriptions. Program is structured to assist those in need of managing heart, vascular, lung and other chronic conditions.

Participants utilize the equipment in our rehabilitative gym to perform an independent exercise routine. Therapists perform a personal screening on your first visit and help set up your program. Our rehab staff are present to monitor your safety and are available to answer questions during each visit.
