With falls-related injury being the number one cause of injury hospitalisations in Australia, there is no time like the present to take that all-important step to improving your bone health and developing an effective falls prevention strategy.
We’re currently offering complimentary bone health checks. Click below to learn more.
These osteoporosis exercise classes are uniquely tailored to improve bone density and strength, with one of the key objectives being to reduce the risk of fall, the main reason for injury-related hospital admissions.
Utilising a combination of resistance-based and impact-loading exercises, the class implements research that demonstrates that ‘loading’ the bones in a safe and appropriate manner promotes an increase in bone building hormones, once considered to be impossible.
Our classes, which will teach you how to strengthen bones and provide you with the best exercise for osteoporosis, are one hour in duration and are available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at our Varsity Lakes and Runaway Bay clinics.
Group classes are social, fun and proven to drive results quicker. Whilst you work out in a group environment, each participant is working to their own individualised program, that is crafted to suit their own ability. It is therefore necessary that you first undertake an initial assessment, so that a member of our health professionals team is able to tailor a program unique to you.
Having been a member of Atkins Health for about 18 months now, I can clearly feel the benefits of a regular, consistent and supervised program. The osteoporosis group program has been very beneficial not only helping me become stronger but also seemingly assisting to maintain my bone density. The instruction and support I receive with Atkins Health is excellent!
I have used Atkins Health for particular injuries and achieved great success by following the particular plan devised for the specific injuries. I found the positive attitude and encouragement given by Atkins personnel played an important part in my recovery. Attending Low Impact classes at Runaway Bay, keeps me active and in touch with instructors who keep an eye on my overall development.
I have had great support from the team at Atkins Health in many different areas the team are very hands on and always there to give you encouragement, thanks.
