Looking for ideas and exercises to increase your mobility and strength?
Our class are specifically designed for patients who underwent knee replacements
and want to return to the best level of mobility as possible.
It is also suitable to patient who are waiting for a knee operation.
The classes are all-inclusive and for all levels of fitness.
Whatever your level of mobility and fitness (pre and post-op) , you are welcome to our classes.
Our main goal here is to make you move, make you stronger and fitter.
Our physios will adapt the exercises to every patient whatever their abilities.
Circuit-type Classes
The classes run once a week (at the moment) and last just under one hour. The participants follow their way through 8 stations. Each station targets a specific movement or group of muscles. By the end of the session, you will have not only worked your calves, legs, gluts and back muscles but also your balance and agility.
Share your experience
The big benefit of a class is that the most recently operated patients can see that what we do really works just by looking at patients who are most advanced into their rehab.
The participants can also, if they wish to, share their experiences and give tips and advice.
Believe it or not but most patients have the same issues and worries following a joint replacement operation.
And although your physios are there to help, having personal experiences from people wo went through the same issues as yours is even better….
