Introduction
Regular exercise and sports have a great positive impact on our health and well-being. This is something we have all known for a long time and to which we attach great importance within the Waves philosophy. Exercising in a group often adds an extra fun factor and motivation. Yet, we find that many people with chronic (neurological) conditions often fall outside the regular offerings due to physical or mental factors. At Waves, one of our most important core values is “inclusion. We therefore aim to offer a high-quality group class tailored specifically to people with neurological conditions. These classes will focus on improving physical fitness, strength, balance, coordination and mobility in a fun way. Later we will also focus on more sport-specific class series in which everyone can excel in what he or she is good at.
DETAILS
Let’s Move Neuro
In the Let’s Move Neuro sessions, you will work with an experienced personal trainer and/or physiotherapist specialising in neurological conditions, in a small group (maximum 6-8 participants), to achieve your movement goals. The programme initially focuses on general exercises, covering areas such as fitness, strength, mobility, and balance. In subsequent sessions, we will offer more sport-specific training for those looking to improve in activities like boxing, dancing, tai chi, and more.
If you are new to our practice, you will begin with a 30-minute introductory consultation with Valerie, our physiotherapist specialising in neurological conditions. This consultation helps us understand your current level and experience, ensuring the sessions are as safe and effective as possible.
Let’s Sport Neuro
The Let’s Sport Neuro sessions offer an added challenge, with a 10-week focus on a specific sport. Various sports, such as boxing, tai chi, dancing, and Pilates, are known to have proven benefits for people with neurological conditions. Every 10 weeks, a new sport will be introduced, and participants will learn and refine its techniques. As these group sessions are more advanced, you will need to undergo a brief fall risk screening by one of our physiotherapists before joining.
