Medical Fitness

Medical fitness is sports in a responsible manner under the supervision of a physiotherapist or a medical fitness instructor. This is usually done in groups where each participant carries out an individual training schedule.

Medical Fitness is suitable for various physical complaints, but it is also increasingly used for mental complaints. Some examples of indications for a medical fitness program are:

Lung COVID complaints.
Chronic musculoskeletal complaints, such as back and neck complaints.
COPD.
Follow-up on a cardiac rehabilitation program.
Optimal preparation prior to surgery, such as placing a knee or hip prosthesis (pre-operative). Or active support for recovery after surgery (post-operative).
(reintegrating from) Burnout.

Medical Fitness has the special feature that not only addresses the local complaints, but also the general condition / capacity is trained. This also strengthens the entire body. Usually a trajectory lasts about 12 weeks, with training several times a week.
