Healthy Spine

The session is led by a medical trainer and adapted to a range of fitness levels and ages. We work on three things: strengthening the deep muscles that stabilise the spine, mobilising the thoracic and lumbar segments, and deliberate corrective exercises that improve posture. The pace is moderate, every exercise is shown step by step, and there are modifications for particular limitations. The equipment — mats, sensorimotor balls, resistance bands, rollers — is chosen for whichever part of the body the session works on. The class is especially worth it for people who work at a desk, drivers, women after childbirth, older adults, and anyone who wants to head off the overload that comes with sitting all day. It also works well alongside a strength programme or personal training — it rebuilds the stability that external load often neglects. After four to six weeks of regular attendance, most participants report a clear improvement in range of motion and less tension in the lower back.
