Senior Wellness Program

Program Introduction:

Since its establishment in 2002, the Tzu Chi Community Clinic (formerly known as Free Clinic) has been committed to providing medical services and compassionate care to underserved communities. In 2025, the clinic expanded and introduced HUR rehab and functional training equipment from Finland, along with a team of professional physiotherapists. Together, we launched the Senior Wellness Program, specifically designed for seniors in the community. This program offers personalized and evidence-based exercise training, focusing on improving mobility, strength, and overall quality of life for seniors.  

Program Objectives: 

Improve functional abilities, strength, balance, and overall well-being.  

  1. Rehabilitation and Functional Training:
    1. For conditions such as stroke and Parkinson's disease, aimed at improving daily functioning and motor abilities. 
    2. For arthritis, post-surgical rehabilitation, etc., to help restore functional ability and muscle strength. 
  3. Reduce risk of disability: The program aims to reduce the risk of falls, disability and dependence.
  4. Promote healthy exercise habits:  Encouraging regular exercise fosters healthy aging and improves quality of life.
