GROUP THERAPY FOR STRONG BONES
for the treatment of osteoporosis and osteopenia
Therapists
Are you looking for medically supervised training with a focus on the treatment of osteoporosis and osteopenia?
Then come to our group training for strong bones! The aim of the group is to work on bone density as effectively as possible. The course is therefore suitable for people who already suffer from osteopenia or osteoporosis, as well as for anyone who wants to preventively maintain or build up a healthy bone structure. The course is led and supervised by physiotherapists.

What is it all about?
Group training offers effective and, above all, inexpensive training for people who are looking for an initial introduction to osteoporosis training. The long-term goal is for you to slowly start training independently alongside the group so that you can work independently and autonomously for a healthy bone structure in the future. Once this has happened, we would recommend regular attendance at the group (e.g. every 6 to 12 weeks) to allow for regular monitoring and to work on the finer points of the exercises.
When does the course take place?
Our group training is free to attend almost all year round (summer break, Christmas break). This means that you come when it suits you. Training always takes place on Monday from 4 to 5 pm and on Friday from 8:30 to 9:30 am. If it is not possible to keep all two appointments per week, the basic exercises should be carried out independently, as our bones need 2-3 training sessions per week to treat and strengthen them effectively. It is important to us that we respond personally to our participants in each session, which is why the number of participants is limited and a short registration by SMS/mail is required at least 48 hours in advance for the next session.
What are the prerequisites for the course?
One prerequisite for the group is that you are independently active, i.e. that you can carry out everyday tasks such as shopping, climbing stairs or going for a walk without help. In order to be able to respond to you individually in advance, it is also a prerequisite that a single unit (45 minutes) is taken before joining the group. In this one-to-one session, we record your history and, after an individual examination, we actively go through the basic exercises and the course schedule. This enables us to provide you with the best possible support during the course. If joining the group is too intensive, individual physiotherapy can be started.
How is the course structured?
The focus of the therapy is adapted to the needs of the bone. This means that you will be introduced to intensive strength exercises and impact loads. We will also work on balance and endurance. This combination supports not only the bones but also the muscles to a high degree, making everyday life easier. Therefore, a nice side effect of the exercises is that they help us to stay fit and agile for a long time.
How much does the course cost?
As already mentioned, our course is a cost-effective treatment for osteoporosis and osteopenia. One course unit costs €25. The course is available as a block of 12. Each block of 12 costs €300, i.e. €25 per training session. We recommend that you obtain a prescription for “Group training, 60 minutes, 4-6 people” from your doctor in advance. Depending on your health insurance company, you will be reimbursed €15-20 per unit after completing the course. A one-off fee of €95 is payable for the individual unit (45 minutes) before the start of the course. With a corresponding prescription, part of the costs (approx. 50%) will be covered by the health insurance company.
