Introduction to FRACTAL WORKOUT's New Initiative

FRACTAL WORKOUT, a personal training gym located in front of Harajuku Station, has recently announced the launch of a new exercise therapy course designed to collaborate with physicians. This initiative aims to support patients diagnosed with chronic conditions, offering tailored exercise therapy as prescribed by their doctors.

Purpose of the Exercise Therapy Course

FRACTAL WORKOUT operates not only as a fitness facility but also as a designated exercise therapy center. According to Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, designated exercise therapy facilities are outlined to provide exercise therapy based on medical prescriptions for patients suffering from conditions such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and ischemic heart disease.

The new course is specifically intended for those patients whom internal medicine doctors deem suitable for exercise therapy. It includes consultations about facility use based on prescriptions or referral details, verification of implementation flow, and establishing communication pathways with medical institutions.

Addressing the Need for Exercise Therapy

In internal medicine practice, numerous patients suffering from lifestyle-related conditions like hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes are often advised to undertake exercise therapy alongside medication and dietary guidance. However, even when physicians recognize the necessity of exercise therapy, patients often face challenges in determining where and how to continue their therapy outside the clinical environment. This is notably true for busy individuals such as business leaders, executives, specialists, and corporate managers who may find standard fitness facilities inefficient.

At FRACTAL WORKOUT, considerations regarding ease of access, easy booking, privacy, and clearly defined processes based on physician prescriptions are prioritized.

Structure of Established Exercise Therapy Course

The exercise therapy program at FRACTAL WORKOUT is distinct from general fitness training. It is structured to support individuals diagnosed with specific conditions where exercise therapy is deemed necessary by a physician.

Key Conditions for Participation

Before accessing the facility, several conditions must be established:

• - A valid medical diagnosis from a physician.
• - The physician must determine that exercise therapy is appropriate.
• - Confirmation of prescription or referral details must be available.
• - The intent of the exercise therapy must be to treat a specific illness.

Patients consulting for facility use will be assessed under those premises, allowing the center to solidly align with the needs of their clientele.

Target Audience Among Patients

The course specifically anticipates consultations with patients diagnosed with:

• - Hypertension
• - Dyslipidemia
• - Diabetes
• - Ischemic heart disease
• - Other conditions where exercise therapy is considered necessary by a medical expert.

Ultimately, patients can only engage in the program if their conditions are medically recognized and prescriptions are in place based on their specific treatment needs.

Streamlined Referral Process for Physicians

To facilitate an easier transition for physicians referring patients, FRACTAL WORKOUT has established the following steps:
1. Medical Diagnosis: Establishing the patient's condition through a physician’s evaluation.
2. Verification of Prescription: Organizing details concerning illness, therapy goals, and implementation considerations.
3. Facility Consultation: Patients or clinics can consult with FRACTAL WORKOUT to confirm utilization goals according to medical prescriptions.
4. Initiation of Therapy: Upon confirming all details, participation in therapy at the designated facility begins.
5. Continuous Review: Following the commencement of treatment, pathways for collaboration and method verification with medical institutions will be maintained as needed.

NOTE: While a medical expense deduction is not guaranteed, eligibility will rely on thorough assessments of prescribed contents, treatment measures, and overall compliance with tax implications.

Features of FRACTAL WORKOUT for Business Professionals

FRACTAL WORKOUT caters specifically to busy professionals by providing a fully reservation-based system and a facility designed for privacy, allowing healthcare professionals to comfortably refer patients.

Collaboration with Health Insurance and Corporations

The newly introduced program engages with health insurance and corporate sectors as well, aiming to create streamlined pathways for therapy utilization after referrals and ensuring compliance with the standards concerning medical necessity.

Facility Tour and Collaboration Opportunities for Physicians

FRACTAL WORKOUT extends invitations for tours and collaborative discussions directed towards internal medicine practitioners and healthcare institution affiliates to showcase their facility and the advantages of their designated therapy program.

Future Developments

FRACTAL WORKOUT aims to enhance collaborations with medical institutions primarily located in Shibuya, Shinjuku, Minato, and Setagaya wards - particularly focusing on those for whom physicians recommend prescribed exercise therapy. Ongoing connections with health insurance organizations, industrial physicians, and company HR departments are vital in fostering access to necessary therapeutic initiatives.

Contact FRACTAL WORKOUT for Inquiries

The facility encourages medical professionals and institutions to reach out for discussions regarding exercise therapy programs based on physicians' prescriptions and strategies for effective referrals to facilitate patient access to exercise therapy.
