Patients do not need to be patients of Manor Hospital, we welcome all patients to our classes.
What is involved in each session?
This physio led class, helps patients through group exercise, understand what they can do safely to stay moving, and mobile, thus aiding recovery in the long run.
The class has some chair based exercises, but also requires attendees to be standing. The movements can be scaled up or down by the physios as required to suit each individuals needs.
Men and women of all ages attend this class, they generally have a lot in common in that they are prior to, or after receiving joint replacement surgery. Attendees often act as a support network to help each other, often asking each other questions about what they have experienced or are about to.
Even with the class being in it's infancy having only started in April 2024, attendees have fed back that the class is of great value to them, both from being able to talk to the Physiotherapists, and from talking to each other about their experiences.
"Such a lovely welcoming group, easily adaptable movements to wherever you are in your journey"
"I started these classes prior to my hip replacement, I am now attending 3 months after having my hip replaced, and I now cycle to the class, the class has had such a positive impact on my life, and Sophie and Jordaan are so helpful and make us laugh too"
"I enjoy the social aspect of these classes too, I can talk to others about my journey and it is reassuring to know I am not alone in what I have experienced"
"At first I was apprehensive as I went to the class on my own, but I was soon reassured by the lovely group of people and now I look forward to it each month"

How may classes am I entitled to attend?
We advise that after surgery, 4 classes should be sufficient to ensure each person has been given enough information about what they need to do to keep moving, whilst there is not a waiting list, we are allowing people to attend monthly. Anyone who has attended a Movement Class session will receive 10% off any physio session that they book thereafter at Manor Hospital in our brand new Physiotherapy suite at Manor Hospital in Biddenham..
