Good Boost Swimming Sessions
Introducing the Good Boost Aquatic programme. The Good Boost aquatic rehabilitation pool sessions have been designed by musculoskeletal specialists to help people with health conditions, such as musculoskeletal conditions, osteoarthritis, joint pain, rheumatoid arthritis, and more, to get moving through gentle water-based exercise in a fun and social environment.
Good Boost sessions help to reduce pain, improve strength and mobility, and boost mental health. Each session is delivered via water-proof tablets that are simple to use and allow participants to progress through their exercises at their own pace. It really is a fantastic low-impact exercise and social programme.
Participants will have support through their sessions by a trained Good Boost facilitator, so help is always available. Here’s what Good Boost aquacisers say…
“The staff have been knowledgeable, understanding, keen to help and aware of individual needs.”
“I am beginning to feel the benefits after three sessions. This has benefitted me both mentally and physically and I look forward to more sessions.”
“I had a full hip replacement 2 years ago and I have been doing as much exercise as I can manage. As the exercises are in the water, I can complete them all to a good level and the fact that I am a non-swimmer is no deterrent.”
If you feel that Good Boost sessions could benefit you or someone you know, everyone is welcome to come to Blue Wave and give them a go. Sessions take place on Wednesdays and Thursdays 3-3:45pm.
Price: £3 per session for the first 8 weeks then £5 per-session after
