What is medical fitness?
Medical fitness is a form of guided training that goes beyond simply exercising. The programme is built around your health situation, complaints and goals. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply want to get healthier and fitter, medical fitness fits where you are right now.
Who is it for?
Medical fitness suits a wide range of people: those recovering from an injury or surgery who want to rebuild step by step, people with chronic complaints such as back pain, osteoarthritis or a heart condition who want to exercise safely, people returning to movement after a period of inactivity but unsure where to start, and athletes who want to improve their base fitness and strength under physiotherapy guidance.
What does medical fitness do for your health?
Regular guided exercise has proven positive effects on nearly every aspect of your health. Your strength and stamina improve, your posture gets better, your joints are better supported, and your energy levels rise. Movement also helps reduce chronic pain and supports healthy blood pressure, blood sugar regulation and mood.
What does a medical fitness programme look like?
We always start with an intake and a functional assessment, mapping out your strength, mobility, fitness and any complaints. From there we build a personal training plan with clear goals and a sensible build-up. Training takes place at the Bonjasky Academy in Almere, a professional, well-equipped facility, under Shane's direct guidance, so your technique is correct, the load is right, and you can build up safely.
Is medical fitness covered by insurance?
Medical fitness can in some cases be (partially) reimbursed through supplementary health insurance, particularly when it's part of a physiotherapy treatment plan. This varies by insurer and policy. We're happy to help you find out what applies to your situation.
