Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi) will start operating the small group exercise class for people with disabilities, ‘Dahamkke Deulsseokdeulsseok Exercise Class,’ from the 29th.

‘Dahamkke Deulsseokdeulsseok Exercise Class’ is a project launched in April last year to support continuous rehabilitation exercise and provide social participation opportunities for local people with disabilities.

The program consists of 10 sessions per term, and a total of 100 sessions have been completed up to the 10th term. In cooperation with the Jungnang-gu Disabled Sports Association, four professional instructors affiliated with the Sports Association participate weekly as instructors to teach individually tailored exercise methods according to the type of disability.

In particular, this year, a short-term course consisting of 10 sessions and a long-term course consisting of 40 sessions have been established to allow more participants to join the exercise class.

This reflects the results of the 2023 exercise class participant survey. Additionally, the number of sessions will be expanded from 100 to 120 to continue efforts for the ongoing health management of people with disabilities in the region.

The exercise classes are held in the Rehabilitation Health Room on the 2nd floor of the Jungnang-gu Public Health Center, and anyone aged 19 or older with a disability residing in Jungnang-gu can participate. Those wishing to participate can apply by visiting or calling the health center and join after consultation.

Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi of Jungnang-gu said, “I am pleased that the operation of the exercise class has expanded rehabilitation and social participation opportunities for local people with disabilities,” and added, “We will continue to strive to help local people with disabilities enjoy healthy and vibrant lives through continuous rehabilitation exercise education.”

Jungnang-gu operates various programs for health and welfare management of people with disabilities in the region, including ▲home rehabilitation services ▲community early adaptation programs ▲disability rehabilitation programs ▲rental of rehabilitation assistive devices.

In particular, on December 8th, a ‘specialized vehicle for people with disabilities’ was introduced and is being actively utilized to promote health and welfare for people with disabilities.
