What is the difference between Lombafit Studio and the other group exercises classes?

Although the exercises are adjusted to your symptoms, we recommend you consult a physiotherapist for an individual session if you have acute back pain. You will receive hands-on treatments and other modalities to ease your pain. However, you can still join Lombafit Studio once the pain is under control in order to prevent future reinjury.

All classes are given to small group classes and are typically 1 hour long. The first 45 minutes are dedicated to therapeutic exercises aiming to treat your condition. The last 15 minutes is used for educating you about your back pain, answering your questions, complimentary exercises and/or group sharing sessions.
What is the cost?
