1 Believe in better health

2 2 Lifelong vitality Albert Einstein noted that life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, he said, you must keep moving. Certainly running a marathon and hiking through canyons qualify. But so do walking the dog and hosting a holiday dinner. Even everyday tasks like grocery shopping can require strength, flexibility and stamina. The activities of daily life are life itself. Matrix can keep your residents active so they can maintain the lifestyles they desire. We offer a full suite of cardio and strength products that develop the endurance and strength required to perform activities of daily living, minimize the effects of injury, prolong independence and preserve dignity at all ages and stages of life. Our accessible lifestyle solutions promote general fitness and can also be tailored to specific protocols, including therapy and rehabilitation.

4 4 Lifelong independence Wellness is more than the absence of pain or disease. It is a positive, balanced approach to life that prioritizes and nurtures physical, intellectual and emotional health. Cardiovascular and strength training have always been integral components of wellness. Now research shows that regular physical activity can help maintain health and happiness as we age. We not only extend our lives but also vastly improve how we feel. We move more freely. We think more clearly. We forge relationships more easily. We weather challenges more confidently. Indeed, exercise affects five of the commonly recognized seven dimensions of wellness. It promotes social connections, evens our emotions, keeps us productive, stimulates our brains and benefits our overall health. At every stage of life, exercise is about more than how much we can carry or how our clothes fit. It feeds us. It nurtures us. It restores us. It connects us. Exercise is powerful. And Matrix knows exercise. Matrix offers a full range of innovative products that make strength and cardio training possible for individuals of nearly all ages and ability levels.
