Over 66% of Australians aged over 50 are impacted by osteopenia, osteoporosis, or poor bone health in general. Our Bone Society group class is specifically designed to improve bone density and strength, which in turn reduces the risk of falls, one of the major reasons for hospital admissions. Combining resistance based and impact loading exercises, the class utilises new research that provides us with an understanding that loading the bones in a safe and appropriate manner will actually promote the increase of bone building hormones, previously thought impossible.
Our osteoporosis classes run for one hour and are available at our Varsity Lakes and Runaway Bay clinics.

Previously run by the Queensland Government, our years of experience have resulted in the continued development of Mission MS, our group classes specifically designed to enrich the lives of those impacted by Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Mission MS combines the benefits of balance, co-ordination, strength and endurance based exercises to raise the bar of the participants’ function and capabilities. This class aims to reduce the degradation of MS, and by increasing the participants’ baseline fitness and capabilities, relapses are much less debilitating. Our clients not only benefit greatly from the exercise program, but also love the camaraderie and social environment that this class offers.
Mission MS group classes are available at our Varsity Lakes clinic.
