It is not only this trend that has led the Rehabilitation Hospital Beroun to expand its services to include a nutritional counselling service, which we introduced in our last article. Now we will focus on the second part of the resolution, which is exercise. Our hospital can help with that too. Filip Vaněček, the head physiotherapist of the gym of the Jan Calta Rehabilitation Centre, described to us the possibilities at the centre.
Our gym offers DAVID and HUR exercise machines, cardiozone - i.e. treadmills, cross trainers, exercise bikes and an upper limb trainer. Also available are one-handed dumbbells, a pulley and apparatus for push-ups and barbell push-ups, barbells and overballs.
We can also offer the Space Curl - a three-dimensional apparatus for activating the deep stabilization system, improving lower limb proprioception, coordination, perception and orientation in space in a balance environment - but which can only be used after indication by a doctor and under the guidance of a physiotherapist.
On the first visit we will prepare an individual program and on subsequent visits the client can exercise on these devices in a similar way to fitness, without any appointment and at any time. In this way, the HUR machines are also used by our employees.
We use both DAVID and HUR machines for patients for medical reasons, but also for "healthy" clients as a preventive or fitness program. It is important to set up the machines and the necessary load, preferably right at the initial session. The rest depends on the client's will. Everyone should exercise regularly to achieve the desired success. It is always about regularity and honesty. The optimal is to exercise 2-3 times a week, including the program in the cardio room.
To give you a financial idea, the price for individual exercise on DAVID equipment is 3 900 CZK / 12 lessons. Group exercise on DAVID machines costs 2 100 CZK / 10 lessons, HUR machines - initial lesson 350 CZK, further 1 300 CZK / 10 lessons. A Space Curl 200 CZK / 1 lesson, massage couch costs 100 CZK / 10 min.
