Slow Movement, Slow Exercise, Slow Living. Dementia & Aged Care Gym Equipment!

Movement for those who cannot traditionally exercise is just as important as exercise for those who can.
Slow Movement is a concept coming from Turtle Gym - a Japanese company whose philosophy is to be like a turtle with slow living and slow exercise. They produce a range of researched backed Aged Care and Dementia friendly gym equipment designed with constant speeds but where resistance changes with the amount of force applied. Turtle Gym also produces vibrational equipment to prevent muscular deterioration. For Turtle Gym the most important thing is to create an environment suitable for life in old age where elderly can grow old healthily. With over 1500 sites worldwide using their equipment we feel they are certainly achieving this goal.

Ageing is inevitable. With it comes the decline of body functions, such as muscle strength, joint flexibility, mobility and balance. However, regular exercise can delay most of the waning of these body functions and improve quality of life.

We love the vibrational machines from Turtle Gym. They have a large range from exercise training equipment that fits wheelchairs, to vertical and horizontal vibration equipment.
