Great news ! At Cowbridge Physiotherapy we now have a gentle exercise class for people with chronic pain or arthritis.
The exercises are very gentle and mostly done sitting in a chair,with a few done in standing, but the benefits are great as we can stretch every joint and muscle in these positions.
Research has shown that it is far more beneficial to exercise in a group situation.
You will be assessed on the first attendence, by a Chartered Physiotherapist who will discuss your problems with you, and decide which exercises will be safe for you to do.
Give us a ring and come and join us, you,ll be glad you did.
