The Strong To The Bone Program

Initial Assessment

A one-on-one 60-minute initial assessment and goal planning session with our experienced Exercise Physiologist. Here we establish your individual needs and prepare you with your program for work in the group sessions and at home.

Group Sessions

We run 45-minute group sessions with a maximum of 6 participants working under the watchful eye of our exercise physiologist. The sessions will focus on your individual needs and you will learn techniques to improve your movement capacity, increase strength and protect your body from an overuse injury.

Strong To The Bone is a high-value, low-cost program where we offer our initial one-hour long assessment for $85 ($75 for pensioners and health care card holders). The group sessions are a fantastic value of $25 per class, with discounts available for multiple session passes. You may be eligible for Medicare rebates if referred via your GP under a Chronic Disease Management Plan or alternatively via your private health insurance.

If you or your loved ones are at risk of falling or fractures with low bone density, osteoporosis or in need of improved balance & mobility get in touch with the PridePlus team today.
