Physical Activity Referral in Stockport
(PARiS) is Stockport's GP Exercise Referral scheme, designed
to help patients with moderate medical conditions become and
stay more physically active.
A joint partnership
between Stockport Sports Trust & NHS Stockport, the scheme
is delivered by a strong and experienced team of health and
exercise professionals, who provide guidance, support and
pathways towards health improvement.
Research has shown that becoming more
physically active can benefit you and the management of your
medical condition.
Do you have
diabetes, COPD, stable angina or a high risk of developing
cardio-vascular disease?
Have
you had a heart attack, angioplasty, coronary artery bypass
graft or stroke?
Do
you suffer from anxiety, depression or joint pain?
If you answered ‘YES’
to any of the above, ask your doctor or nurse about the PARiS
scheme.

Activity Guide
Stockport's Home Activity
Guide provides simple and effective exercises (for all levels
of ability), focusing on developing functional fitness to
improve quality of life, e.g. shoulder mobility exercises
(to make reaching for a can of beans from the cupboard easier)
and stability exercises (to prevent falls).
It includes a range of progressive physical activities
that can be done in the home, with 3 levels: Beginner (chair
based), Beginner+ (chair based with more resistance) &
Intermediate (standiing exercises).
Anyone wishing to begin using the guide should
attend a one off masterclass where they will receive a copy
of the guide. The workshop is intended to ensure you
are exercising safely and are given the motivation to start
and adhere to the programme.
The next Home Activity Masterclass is due to take place at Target Life Lapwing (Community Room), Lapwing Lane, Brinnington, Stockport, SK5 8LF on Wednesday 18th August at 10.30am. For more information contact Avril Jackson on 0161 947 4364.
