When the pain has eased and sessions become less frequent, many people are unsure: can they go back to training, and if so, how? Medical Fitness is meant for this situation. It is listed on the booking page of MozgásKlinika Retek utca, in Budapest’s 2nd district.
What is Medical Fitness?
In the MozgásKlinika definition, Medical Fitness is the top of the MozgásPiramis®: a modern movement programme led by a professional that forms a bridge between rehabilitation and regular exercise you can keep up in the long run. It is more than training: the programme is built by a professional who takes your therapy history and your individual condition into account.
What does it focus on?
- strength and endurance,
- stability and balance,
- coordination and movement control,
- general load tolerance.
According to the clinic’s website, the programme develops load tolerance by strengthening the deep muscles and reduces the risk of re-injury. It may also be an option if you want to lose weight or improve your endurance.
Who is it for?
Typically for people who have already worked through the lower levels of the MozgásPiramis®: pain and the current complaint have settled, range of motion, strength and stability have improved, and the goal is to return to everyday, work or sporting load. Your physiotherapist can tell you where you stand.
If you have not been to the clinic before, a first assessment is needed before Medical Fitness too: the programme builds on the results of the examination.
How is it different from a gym session?
It is led by a professional who knows your therapy history and adjusts the load to it. According to the clinic, load is increased carefully and gradually, and the individual plan may include functional, plyometric and agility exercises.
What does it cost and how do you book?
The Salonic booking page lists Medical Fitness as a one-hour session without a price. The clinic can tell you the fee and the booking conditions by phone or email; see the contact page. The other treatments are on the services page.
The article on staying active after treatment looks at how to keep your results in the long run.
