We have been running our Healthy Bones classes at Ashbourne Physiotherapy Clinic since 2008
The class is specifically designed to help improve your bone health and it is suitable for those with osteopaenia, osteoporosis or those who just want to keep their bones as strong as possible. If you have diagnosed osteoporosis, we recommend you make an appointment to see one of our osteoporosis specialists prior to booking the class.
The aim of the class is to:
- Promote bone density by using weight-bearing and resistance exercises, particularly for the hip and back muscles
- Improve balance to prevent falls
- Improve posture and flexibility
- Provide advice and information on osteoporosis and osteopaenia
- Be fun!!
Classes last one hour and are currently being run both on Zoom and in the clinic (with restricted numbers). If you would like to do a free trial class, please contact us and we can arrange that for you. Classes are booked in sets of eight (€120 for Zoom and €140 for clinic) and can be joined at any time. Please give us sufficient notice if you are unable to attend as there is a late cancellation/failure to attend fee.
CLASS TIMETABLE
Pilates classes are run in sets and the date below each Pilates class indicates when the next set starts. Other classes can be joined at any time. At the moment, all our classes are hybrid with some people in the clinic and others on Zoom. We may be able to have up to four/five in the clinic depending on the Covid restrictions that are in place at the time.
