GROUP EXERCISE PROGRAM
Physiotherapy at Don Mills is committed to providing affordable physiotherapy and exercise programs with different focus groups:
 

Fit over Fifty and Balance Training:

Small group exercise program instructed by our certified kinesiologist and supervised by our physiotherapist. This program aims to improve older adults’ quality of life by increasing their general strength and ability to independently perform daily tasks, and to prevent the risk of falls by improving balance and coordination.
 

Core Stabilization: Small group class, maximum of ten participants.
 

Level I: Instructed by our certified kinesiologist and supervised by our physiotherapist, this class is suitable for individuals with prior low back/pelvis/ hip injuries. Core muscle activation and stabilization exercises are taught with hands-on corrections and are progressed into functional activities. The class would be part of a maintenance exercise program to help prevent re-injury. This class is not appropriate for clients with acute injuries. A physiotherapist’s assessment is essential to determine one’s eligibility.
 

Level II: Instructed by our experienced certified personal trainer and supervised by our physiotherapist, this class is for clients with no particular injury or patients fairly recovered from injuries. The class is aimed at maintaining and increasing core muscle strength, improving posture and general fitness. Initial assessment by the physiotherapist is necessary to determine eligibility.
 

KidFit: Our team of physiotherapist, dietitian, kinesiologist and personal trainer are currently working on introducing a small group exercise program for children at risk of developing type 2 Diabetes and obesity. This program will aim to increase the general fitness of children at risk and prevent these conditions. Check back for program availability in winter 2009-10.


Walk Tall: Small group exercise program taught by our certified kinesiologist and supervised by our physiotherapist, aimed at minimizing the risk of fractures, improving posture and increasing muscle strength and core stabilization for adults with osteoporosis. Check back for program availability in winter 2009-10.
 

The fees for these group exercise programs are often covered by extended health insurance plans. Classes will be sold as packages of six-eight weeks and are non-refundable and non-transferable.
