It’s proven that socialising can improve wellbeing. The benefits of social connections and good mental health are numerous. A social exercise group not only helps your physical wellbeing but by being together we can help to keep each other’s brains sharp, improving our memories, reducing stress, anxiety and isolation.

At Tavistock Physio Clinics we individually tailor treatments and exercise, but never forget that you and our clinic are also an integral part of our community. It’s never been more important for us all to remain independent, fit and healthy. Starting with a one to one physio session, we then advise how we can work together to improve your long term health and fitness. We aim to identify and treat both your symptoms and any underlying causes, getting you confident to join one of our classes or take more exercise with your friends. Our classes enable you to continue with ongoing affordable physiotherapy at the same time as providing you with a great opportunity to meet other likeminded people.

Whilst the fear of falling as you get older is very real, the stronger and more mobile you become now, the lower the risk of injury in later life. Also the longer someone has been doing an exercise, the more these movements become ‘old memories’ so easier to perform, even if in later life conditions such as Dementia, Parkinsons or other age related conditions occur.

We believe that Pilates type exercises are a great way to learn how to use and strengthen your body. Our classes are run for those recovering from injuries as well as those who want to maintain their health. All our classes are run with osteoporosis prevention in mind, helping to improve balance and bone health. Classes also include Balance and Falls Prevention and Strength and Conditioning. After your class, you’re welcome to stay and get to know your group with a well earned coffee!
