The Actively Ageing Course is an Exercise/Educational Course, professionally designed by Physiotherapists to teach the over 50’s the principles of safe, correctly performed exercise using optimal postures and muscle groups, to improve their fitness for better future health.
The exercise routines have been specifically designed for the more mature and are offered at 2 levels of difficulty for the fit and the not-so-fit. Participants become proficient in the techniques required for safe exercise and will be ‘prepared’ to take part in ongoing Actively Ageing Classes when the Course is completed.
The Actively Ageing Course runs for 4 weeks with attendance twice a week. Participants are given practice exercise sessions so the Course is moderately intensive.
Each participant will be thoroughly assessed according to strict criteria and a qualified physiotherapist will determine the level of exercise pending the outcome of an Initial Assessment.
Each participant will purchase an Actively Ageing ‘Kit’, which will be used throughout the duration of the Course. The Actively Ageing ‘Kit’ includes: 1 x handbook, 1 X workbook, 1 x work calendar, 1 x diet chart & 1 x DVD
Currently the course is $340 including your kit. Rebates apply for Self Funded Patients from their Health Funds or a doctor's referral is required for DVA or EPC clients.
