New Movement and Rehabilitation Classes In Caithness

11th June 2012

Kate Burt and Louise Shakespeare have set out to give some options to local Caithness people with certain health conditions. Tripudio Movement systems is a new movement and rehabilitation class starting in Caithness. A fun fitness and movement class that can be taken standing or seated. The class involves a specially designed warm up and cool down, named the 'flow' , along with mobility, stretches and strengthening with gentle movements and dance to music.

It is designed for people with health problems, e.g following or receiving treatments for cancer, lymphoedema, MS, arthritis etc, or simply overweight or as an initial gentle exercise class for those wishing to start regular exercise in a non-competitive environment. All the exercises can be done either sitting or standing.

Tripudio movement was designed to promote healthy fluid movement throughout the body - especially the lymphatic system. A healthy lymphatic system will assist many health conditions and help maintain a healthy immune system. Tripudio movement has also been shown to help reduce scar tissue and help improve the lymph flow in these affected areas. This helps in clearing stagnated lymph and toxins and therefore beneficial to all. As Tripudio is designed for rehabilitation, the movements to music are very gentle, this is to avoid aggravating any inflammatory conditions.

This is an ideal class for post-surgery rehabilitation, cancer patients, lymphoedema, cardiac rehabilitation, chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, Arthritis, ME, MS, pre-post natal fitness, including post-caesarean, anyone with movement restrictions and senior citizens.

As well as all the health benefits there is always great social interaction, with laughter, fun and meeting new people!
