Bone Density Exercise

This is a programme created for stimulating bone strength through natural movement and proper weight-bearing posture. The human skeleton is most efficient when its pressure on the ground is produced in rhythmic waves that stream from one polarity to the other, creating stronger bones. Each person’s individual condition and rhythm is considered and bone strength is stimulated through the coordination of all body parts into a consistent alignment.

Pilates Body Conditioning

Pilates is a unique form of exercise that caters to the specific needs of each individual. Slow, precise movements allow you to become aware of any weakness and postural misalignment caused by injury or muscle imbalance. Your individual programme will tone up muscles and increase flexibility as well as your core stability. Our professionally equipped Pilates Studio will allow you to work out using many forms of Pilates, regardless of your fitness level.

Gyrokinesis®

This unique form of exercise incorporates many key principles of yoga, dance, gymnastics and Tai Chi.

Our Physiotherapists analyse your posture, muscle and soft tissue to create a special programme that gives correct postural technique, strengthens core muscles and increases total body flexibility. Re-functional Exercise combines Pilates and careful use of special equipment to ensure that your workout is safe and effective.
