STRONG BONES
Our Strong Bones program target osteoporosis, osteopenia, bone density and balance.
As well as giving you the all-important right “dose” of exercise, we give you simple bit-sized snacks of the latest research into sun, diet, vitamin D and calcium intake, so you will have all the essentials you need to build stronger bones.
We will also assess your posture, movement, balance and core, so we can look after those dodgy necks, backs, knees and pelvic floors that can sometimes get in the way of you building strength
You will need an Initial Bones and Balance Consultation before you start classes.

THE RIGHT CLASS FOR YOUR BODY
Following your Initial Consultation your expert physiotherapist will recommend which of these classes would be the best for your bone and body issues
Some people will need a few individual appointments before they start classes, and others will need to do a term of our Foundations program to make the underlying changes to their posture and movement patterns that allow them to “load up” safely and effectively for their age, stage and bone health.
STRONG BONES CLASSES
Building bone is not about picking up a few hand weights. It requires highly targeted “doses” of the right exercises, using the right amount of weight, in the right way.
It requires experts in that area who not only understand how to progressively strengthen you with weights and impact exercise, but also how to protect your back, neck, knees and other joints.
We have all the latest equipment and our classes are enormously enjoyable!
GOOD FOR: People who have low bone density, wish to prevent osteoporosis or want to get stronger
HOW LONG ARE THE CLASSES? 1 hr class per a week in 10 Week Terms
PREREQUISITES: An Initial Consultation and then your expert physio will work out the best plan for you to start classes.
