The pain has gone and the treatment is over. Then comes the question: how do you keep moving without ending up where you started? For this, MozgásKlinika Újbuda offers its Medical Fitness programme.
What exactly is it?
A 60-minute workout led by a physiotherapist. According to the clinic’s description, the programme can strengthen the core muscles and keep the deep back muscles active, and endurance can be developed too, with blood pressure and heart rate monitored. The current website mentions interval and cardio power training as well as functional physiotherapy exercises.
Who does the clinic recommend it for?
The booking page lists four situations:
- you want to move again after a spinal condition;
- you want to train in a way that protects your joints;
- you are returning to workouts after an injury;
- you are starting again after a long inactive period.
How is it different from a gym class?
The person leading it knows your musculoskeletal history. As the description says, the physiotherapists put together a personal movement programme that is part of the treatment plan. The load is therefore set by your condition, not by a general workout plan.
In the MozgásPiramis this belongs to the top level: keeping the result you have reached and building on it.
Prices and the pass
One session costs HUF 22,990. The booking system also lists a 12-session pass for HUF 250,000, which is valid for three months under the policy. The other fees are summarised in the prices article.
Can you come if you have not been a patient?
Under the clinic’s rule, a first booking always starts with the first assessment. Whether this is required before the workout programme in every case is for the clinic to confirm; ask before you book. The programme can be booked with all six physiotherapists. The services overview lists it with the other treatments.
What is the next step?
If your treatment is coming to an end, ask your therapist when it makes sense to switch. For what you can continue at home, see the article on spine training after treatment.
