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.
For the month of May, book an initial assessment and experience one week of unlimited Bone Society group exercise classes!
These osteoporosis 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 osteoporosis classes 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.
With a maximum group size of just six, and led by an expert from our leading exercise physiology Gold Coast team, all Atkins Health Bone Society osteoporosis classes are 60 minutes in duration.
Bookings are essential, and cancellation charges do apply if cancelled within 24 hours.
An initial 45 minute assessment with one of our practitioners is required for us to understand your current health status, lifestyle and goals.
We will design a customised program specifically for you to follow to reach your goals, be that at one of our gym-based clinics, at home, or through telehealth coaching.
We conduct six-weekly assessments to ensure that we review your achievements against your goals, and reset requirements for the next period.
A falls risk assessment with Atkins Health will kick-start your falls prevention strategies and reduce your chance of serious injury and hospitalisation.
