Manaus (AM) – On World Day to Combat Sedentarism, the Government of Amazonas highlights the work of RespirAR in promoting quality of life and combating sedentary lifestyle. The program is internationally recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO), and has already provided more than 359 thousand services, benefiting more than 72 thousand Amazonians, since its launch in August 2021.

“The work carried out by the RespirAR program is a commitment by the State Government to promoting the well-being and quality of life of the population. Thus, combating a sedentary lifestyle, the program provides the population with an active and healthy lifestyle, through physical activities in more than 15 centers in the capital of Amazonas”,

emphasized Jorge Oliveira, secretary of Sedel.

The program offers physiotherapy and physical activity services to rehabilitate and integrate people into a healthier life. Francisco de Meneses, 70 years old, avoided shoulder surgery thanks to the physiotherapy sessions held at RespirAR.

“RespirAR is very important, it got me out of a sedentary lifestyle. This was the best decision my wife and I made, looking for physical activity through the program that is changing our lives”,

highlighted Francisco de Meneses.

Francisco’s wife, at 64 years old, Rosilda Meneses arrived with a back problem and worked on reducing lower back pain.

“I couldn’t bend down to do routine activities at home, I was in a lot of pain, and I was also very anxious. I thank Governor Wilson Lima for creating this program, as well as the professionals who serve us and welcome us with all their attention,” she declared.

The synergy between physical activity and physiotherapy offered by the RespirAR Program plays a crucial role in promoting an active and healthy lifestyle. By providing integrated care, it helps participants regain mobility, strengthen muscles and adopt healthier habits.
