Training with the physio

These training sessions and courses are not covered by health insurance. You can find an overview of the costs under Rates and Reimbursements. Your supplementary insurance may include reimbursement for training sessions and courses. Please check your policy yourself.

Exercise is healthy. But how much or how little exercise is healthy for you? And how fit are you now? Using the Physiofitness Scan, the physiotherapist can assess this and provide you with personalized exercise advice.

 

Depending on your personal situation and wishes, a number of other tests will be administered. In this way, an impression is obtained of your muscle strength, flexibility, body fat percentage, and coordination.

 

After the tests, the physiotherapist will discuss the results with you and provide personalized advice. You might be fitter than you think, or you might need to move a bit more. Increasing your physical activity is possible at FysioFit, among other places. Take the FysioFitheidScan together with your physiotherapist.

FysioFit is intended for anyone who wants to exercise or play sports under expert guidance. This can be as a follow-up to physiotherapy treatment or to return to independent sports.

 

At FysioFit, you can train under the supervision of a physiotherapist in the physiotherapy exercise room. Training takes place in a group of a maximum of 6 people. Based on a fitness and strength test, an individual exercise program is drawn up in combination with your personal goals.

We work with a 10-lesson card. This card is valid for 13 weeks

Have you passed the age of 70 and no longer feel at home in a gym? Perhaps 70+Fit is something for you: exercising for one hour a week with peers under the guidance of a physiotherapist. You can train using the various machines in the exercise room, focusing on both strength and cardio. A warm-up and cool-down are performed together.

 

70+Fit is for everyone aged 70 and older who wants to stay fit under good guidance. So that exercising is not only fun but also responsible.

 

70+Fit is held at Health Centre Drie Meren, Hankstraat 1 and at Health Centre Overbos, Muiderbos 212. 

 

A 10-ride pass is used. This pass is valid for 13 weeks and must be purchased at the start of participation.

PilatesFit can be described as an 'intense relaxation workout'. In the classes, we work extensively on our core stability; a corset of muscles surrounding the back, abdomen, and pelvis. 
The entire body is trained in this class, with special attention paid to the back and abdominal muscles, the pelvic floor, and relaxed breathing. 
During the PilatesFit classes, we focus on our posture, coordination, stability, strength, flexibility, balance, breathing, and relaxation. All in all, a class with lots of variety!
It is an ideal method to recover from injuries. These lessons can also be used as an extension of your rehabilitation with the physiotherapist.
 
The exercises in the PilatesFit classes are performed on a mat, involving fluid and smooth movements with relaxed, conscious breathing and good focus. During the class, we perform exercises varying from standing, sitting, and lying positions. Through this method of training, we engage the entire body in a calm and controlled manner. 
Attention is paid to proper posture and correct execution of the exercises, which will improve body control and body awareness. 
 
PilatesFit makes movement fun; the classes make you flexible, more energetic, relaxed, and vital! The class is accessible to everyone with or after recovering from physical ailments. The instructor (physiotherapist and dance teacher) uses the Pilates method in combination with her physiotherapeutic knowledge to offer a tailored workout for everyone. The instructor ensures optimal adaptation of every exercise so that you practice within your own capabilities.
At the end of every lesson, we conclude with ten minutes of breathing and relaxation exercises, combined with a period of attention training.
