Fractal Workout Co., Ltd. has started offering an exercise therapy course at its Harajuku-based personal training gym, 'FRACTAL WORKOUT,' designed in collaboration with internal medicine physicians.
As a health promotion facility and designated exercise therapy facility, FRACTAL WORKOUT provides exercise therapy for the purpose of treating diseases based on doctor prescriptions. According to Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare notifications, designated exercise therapy facilities are places to conduct exercise therapy for disease treatment based on prescriptions, covering conditions such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and ischemic heart disease.
This course supports facility usage consultations, implementation flow confirmation, and the development of referral lines with medical institutions for patients whom internists have deemed appropriate for exercise therapy.
Background:
In internal medicine, exercise therapy is often judged necessary for lifestyle-related diseases such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes, alongside medication and dietary guidance. However, patients often struggle to find appropriate facilities to continue such therapy. Busy individuals, such as executives and professionals, find standard gyms difficult to utilize due to scheduling or privacy concerns. FRACTAL WORKOUT leverages its Harajuku location and appointment-only environment to serve as an accessible designated facility.
Prerequisites for Consultation:
- Must have a diagnosis from a physician.
- Physician must deem exercise therapy appropriate.
- Must provide an exercise therapy prescription or referral documentation.
- The exercise therapy must be for the purpose of treating a disease.
Referral Flow:
1. Diagnosis: Internist determines the patient is suitable for exercise therapy.
2. Documentation: Organizing disease name, objectives, and precautions.
3. Consultation: Consultation with the patient or medical institution regarding goals.
4. Implementation: Commencement of therapy based on the prescription.
Note: Application for medical expense deduction is not guaranteed.
