Gokseong-gun Resumes Operation of Agricultural Rehabilitation Center

New Operation of Group Circuit Exercise Room

For Residents Suffering from Musculoskeletal Disorders Due to Farm Work

[Gokseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Cha Jongseon] Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it will resume the operation of the Agricultural Rehabilitation Center, which had been suspended due to COVID-19, starting from the 10th, and will newly operate a group circuit training room.

The Agricultural Rehabilitation Center has been an essential facility for residents suffering from musculoskeletal disorders caused by farm work, given that 80% of the county's population consists of elderly farmers.

Although operations were temporarily suspended recently due to COVID-19, the center will resume operations from Thursday, February 10, while adhering to quarantine guidelines. In particular, the group circuit training room has been newly renovated by introducing six types of group circuit system exercise equipment in a 30-pyeong (approximately 99 square meters) space.

Any farmer in need of rehabilitation can use the first-floor facility, while those who require muscle strengthening, mainly healthy individuals, can use the second-floor circuit training room, enabling systematic and effective customized health management.

Operating hours are divided into three sessions: 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, and 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM. To ensure quarantine, usage is limited to fewer than 10 people per session and is available by village reservation system.

This facility is expected to play a vital role as a health recharge station by reducing economic and time losses caused by visiting multiple hospitals inside and outside the region due to the lack of rehabilitation facilities locally, and by preventing musculoskeletal disorders among farmers in the county.

A Gokseong-gun official stated, “We expect the Agricultural Rehabilitation Center, which was suspended due to COVID-19, to reestablish itself as an essential facility in the local community. We will operate it responsibly so that residents can recover their health and enjoy a healthy old age.”
