The Elmbridge GP referral scheme is run by Places Leisure on behalf of Elmbridge Borough Council at the Xcel Leisure Complex, Walton-on-Thames under COVID-secure conditions.
How can the exercise referral scheme help you?
Exercise has been shown to:
-
reduce the risk of heart disease and osteoporosis
-
manage weight, diabetes and depression
-
lower blood pressure, cholesterol and stress levels
-
increase muscle strength and joint flexibility
-
improve self esteem and general mood
How to join the scheme
