Benefits of Physio Group Exercise
Here at Yates Physiotherapy, we offer a range of different class-types to suit different needs and individuals. Attending a regular class can be a great way to keep in touch with your physiotherapist, enjoy the safety and specificity of supervised exercise, have fun and make progress towards your goals.

We think it’s much easier to stick to exercise and fitness goals when you commit with a friend, and the class environment is a great way to socialise while you exercise.

Pre-Class Assessment:
Before commencing any group classes, we require an initial assessment which will allow us to identify any physical concerns and ensure our classes are suitable.

During this assessment, we will run through strengths and weaknesses to guide you to the best available options to meet your goals. From here, our experienced physiotherapists will work with you to create a tailored exercise plan. We also recommend a three-month re-assessment to monitor your progress.

Exercise Plan:
Your physiotherapist will construct a tailored exercise program designed to help you achieve your goals explicitly based on your needs and abilities.

How to book a class?
Call or email the clinic to book your appointment. You can also book online on our website by following the ‘Book Now’ button.

How often do I need to come?
Your physiotherapist will provide you with a guide following your initial assessment. We recommend attending at least one class a week to maintain a level of consistency. However, your physiotherapist may suggest more if required for best results.

What should I bring to a class?
We recommend bringing a towel and water bottle to every class. We will provide mats, equipment and sanitiser.

What kind of clothing shall I wear to a class?
Loose-fitting, comfortable clothing is recommended for our Clinical Pilates, Falls and Balance and GLA:D classes.

Please be aware that for hygiene reasons, grip socks are mandatory for our Clinical Pilates classes. These can be purchased from our clinic. For our Falls and Balance and GLA:D classes, wear footwear suitable for a gym environment.

Wear swimwear for our Hydrotherapy classes (indoor pool).
