New Strength and Balance class for 2024

It’s been a long time in the making but we are are really keen to get our Strength and Balance class up and running. This is our new class designed specifically at people that are having mobility, balance and strength issues. It will be geared towards the older population although this is not exclusive.

It has been developed to address balance, mobility, strength and patterning deficits and redundancies. Over time, though injury or ageing processes, information processing and feedback can be reduced causing people to be, or feel, unsteady. These changes can be really slow but over time  we can lose confidence and then capability meaning we reduce what we do generally causing further deterioration and deconditioning.

The class will be very functional looking at everyday movements like to sit to stand, reaching, stepping, stair climbing and bending. We’ve broken down the movements and created exercises to address the specific components of these to build strength and capacity physically as well confidence psychologically. The class will be progressive over successive weekly classes held here in the gym with equipment and weights. Yes, weights – if you can lift a kettle or a pan then you can lift some weights!!

The class is approximately 45-50 mins and runs weekly for 6 weeks. If you’d like to join you’ll need to have an assessment so we know your current capability and goals you’d like to achieve. If you’re an existing patient we may just need to give you a quick ‘once over’ so we know where you’re at. If you’re not sure then please give us a ring on 656340 and one of the physios can speak to you about it or drop us an email with any queries to hello@plymphysio.co.uk. You can also book in for the class or for your assessment by calling the clinic. We’ll be putting live booking up shortly!

CLASS STARTS TUESDAY 5th MARCH @ 11.30am
