'Back2Basics' - Movement & Rehabilitation Group Classes

Move Better, Feel Stronger, and Rebuild Confidence With Clinician-Led Exercise

Back2Basics are clinician-led mobility and strength classes in Cardiff, delivered by The Cardiff Chiropractors at our St Mellons Clinic, East Cardiff.

Back2Basics Class Set up

Our classes are designed especially for adults aged 50+, but are also suitable for anyone with reduced mobility, stiffness or recovering from injury. The programmes provide structured rehabilitation exercise in a safe, supportive small-group setting.

​

Our Back2Basics classes can help improve balance, build strength, and reduce flare-ups of back and joint pain. Allowing you to move with greater confidence in everyday life.

​

​All class members are recommended to have a 1:1 consultation with our class lead prior to starting to ensure a safe transition in to our classes and to allow any bespoke considerations.

Your clinician will help you choose the right starting point.

A Safe & Supportive Way to Exercise

Our 'Back2Basics' sessions are led by our chiropractor Patrick Walsh, who is also an experienced personal trainer and has been working as a provider for the National Exercise Referral Scheme (NERS). He was inspired by the benefits he has seen brought to the community by this programme, but became aware of the long waiting lists restricting people.

Our approach focuses on:

 

• Gentle strength and mobility work

• Improving balance and coordination

• Building confidence with movement

• Supporting recovery from injury or flare-ups

 

Similar in principle to programmes such as the National Exercise Referral Scheme (NERS), Back2Basics provides a structured and supportive environment to help people move more comfortably.

Is Back2Basics Right for You?

Our Back2Basics classes are ideal for people who:

 

  • Feel stiffer or less mobile than they used to be

  • Want to exercise safely with professional guidance

  • Are experiencing back, hip, knee, or joint problems

  • Feel unsure about returning to normal exercise or activity

  • Want a supportive environment rather than a busy gym

 

Many participants attend as a mobility class for over 50s in Cardiff, but the programme is suitable for adults of any age who want to move better and rebuild confidence. If you're still unsure and would like a call back from Patrick to discuss further please feel free to get in touch:
