Physiotherapy & Exercise for Osteoporosis

All appointments are £75 for 50 minutes.

What to expect....

First Appointment:

The nature of Osteoporosis is that there are always many questions about safe movement patterns, lifestyle, medication. Education is key to understanding how to move forward. In the initial appointment we discuss how osteoporosis effects your bone. We will go through the Do's and Don't of movement to protect and build bones. We will look at your DEXA's, Xrays and any current problems stopping you from moving well. From here we will create an ongoing plan which maybe inlcude: home exercise plan of stretching and strengthening, joining an exercise class, clinical massage or other recommenadtaions. My aim is for you to leave feeling really positive and in control.

Follow up appointments:

After the first appointment its a good time to reflect on your daily movement habits, how you are moving at work, gym, home? Most people learn a lot from their first appointments but often come back with very specific questions. Follow ups tend to be a check in . That the plan we made is working for you. That you have understood how to protect and build your bones. To progress or adapt what you have been working on. If you have any problems with ongoing pain some hands on work maybe appropriate.

Clinical Massage:

If you are suffering from pain that won't shift. Clinical massage can be the answer to unlocking muscles, nerves and soft tissues that have been holding you in pain patterns. It is excellent to help with long term conditions. Sometimes hands on is the only way to feel whats happeing to the body and provide the necessary relief. 

Stronger Fitter Bones Classes:

These are held on Tuesdays at Ansty Village Hall and Wednesdays at Bishop Hannington Community Centre in Hove. To join a class you will need to have attended an appointment with Bex to assess which class is appropriate for you and to have been over some basic movement patterns, so please book or email any questions.

Classes run in Blocks in line with school holidays and so can be 6 or 8 weeks long.

Prices vary slightly from £12.50 - £13.50 venue and length of class dependant.
