PhysioFit classes

What are they?

PhysioFit is a new type of exercise and learning class, designed by Cranfold and led by experienced Chartered Physiotherapists. It is tailored to your specific needs. Each class is especially designed to support different types of condition – so whether you have a knee replacement, or suffer with back pain – we have a class to help you.

The class will be part learning-part doing. Your physio will discuss issues raised by the group, teach you more about your condition and give tips on how to manage it optimally. You will also have the opportunity to share your knowledge and experiences with others who have had similar problems.

You will get stronger and more flexible through the exercise programme, being guided by your experienced physio. As everyone is different, you will be able to go at your own pace and be sure that you are moving safely and optimally to get the most benefit.

How are they different to other exercise classes?

The classes are a mixture of exercise and learning. Before joining, you will be given a medical questionnaire and may have a chat with your Chartered Physio prior to starting your first class. This allows them to establish your individual concerns, medical history, and aims. Your physio will then use this knowledge and their expertise to individualise the exercises in the class to suit your own needs. This ensures that the exercises you will do are not only safe for your condition, but will lead to maximum benefit for you. Everyone is different. It’s like having your own physio on tap, but also being amongst others who have had similar experiences and can support each other with the knowledge that only those who have “been there” can have.

Where are they?

Physio-Fit is exclusive to Cranfold Physical Therapy Centre and classes are held in our spacious purpose designed studios in Cranleigh.

PhysioFit: Move & Flow (Tai Chi) Class in Cranleigh

(Friday 1pm – 2pm with Kathryn) – £13 per session

This class is aimed at those wishing to work on balance and control and involves standing and moving in a slow, controlled (flowing) way from one pose to another. The co-ordination and skill to achieve this works the mind, balance and muscles in a gentle but concentrated way.

Suitable for all ages but very popular with older people, physio Kathryn uses her professional knowledge and experience of Tai Chi to influence the content of this class.

“I have been coming to this class since it started and I really enjoy it.  I find it relaxing and fun.  Having just been through Chemotherapy, I needed to get fit again and I do feel this is helping me greatly. I certainly recommend it.” Mrs R from Wonersh
