Physiotherapy Classes and Group Sessions

What types of sessions do we offer?

One-to-One Sessions

One-to-one physiotherapy sessions last 30 minutes and are available for people who have a specific issue that cannot be addressed in a group class, or who do not have the ability to join a group class.

Group Exercise Classes

Group exercise classes (maximum 7 people) last an hour, with some classes ending with 10-15 minutes of relaxation. These classes are led by our therapists and encourage people to exercise in a way that will be effective for them, as well as providing a fun, sociable environment.

Group Therapy Sessions

Group therapy (maximum 5 people) also lasts an hour, with smaller groups allowing for more focused attention on specific issues.

Both types of exercise classes are tailored to varying ability and mobility levels, so that there is something for everyone.

Online Classes

These classes last half an hour and are ideal for those who cannot attend the Centre, work from home, have limited time or other commitments. These take place via Zoom.

All types of exercise classes are tailored to varying ability and mobility levels, so that there is something for everyone.
