FOR GPs & REFERRERS

A home-based alternative to gym-based exercise referral.

Swindon offers NHS exercise referral through Link Centre Healthwise —

a great option for many patients. But for those managing mobility

issues, transport barriers, social anxiety, or simply a schedule that

doesn't allow travel to a gym, referral can be difficult to follow

through on.

Vology delivers exercise referral sessions directly to the patient's

home, so referral remains achievable even when a gym isn't.

This may be a good fit for patients who are:

• Managing chronic pain or joint conditions
• Living with limited mobility
• Anxious or lacking confidence in a gym environment
• Managing a long-term condition where structured movement is recommended but access is the barrier
• Unable to commit to regular travel due to work, carer/family responsibilities, or a busy schedule

Sessions are one-to-one, delivered at the patient's home, and built

around their referral and current ability. Depending on the

recommendation, this may include:

• Functional exercises
• Mobility
• Balance work
• Gentle, progressive strength training
• Weight loss
• Resistance training to help manage pain attributed to bone loss due to ostheoporosis

Sessions are delivered by Ezio, a qualified personal trainer with exercise referral accreditation, alongside training in nutritional advice, stress therapy, and massage — allowing a broader view of a patient's recovery where relevant.

Been told by your GP you could benefit from an exercise referral, but a gym-based scheme isn't realistic for you? 

You can also book yourself directly or ask your GP to refer you to Vology.
