We run a range of classes at all of our sites across Cambridgeshire, which focus on restoring people’s function through specialist and tailored rehabilitation classes. These are run by our rehabilitation instructors and include:
Functional class
In this class, patients with a wide range of conditions attend over a six week period, with each class lasting for one hour.
One of our rehabilitation instructors will design a bespoke exercise programme with you, which will include using the gym equipment and floor based exercises specific to the condition you attend with.
You would normally be referred into this class by your physiotherapist or clinical specialist physiotherapist.
At the end of this class you may be invited to attend an exercise referral scheme at a local gym, to maintain the improvements you have gained from the class. Find out more on what's available in your area here.
