Northern Rehab Now Offers 2 Levels of Strength & Stability Classes

Northern Rehab Physical Therapy Specialists, voted Best Physical Therapists four years in a row, is pleased to announce they now offer 2 levels of Strength and Stability balance classes. “We saw a need to offer a class for people who have difficulty standing or may need to use a cane or walker, so we adjusted our classes to accommodate those needs,“ comments Ken Olson, Physical Therapist and President of Northern Rehab. Strength and Stability classes are intended for anyone hoping to improve their balance, coordination, strength, and overall well-being. Classes focus on activities to improve balance, flexibility, strength, prevent falls, enhance energy levels, and increase confidence of performing daily activities, all in a fun and interactive setting.

Strength and Stability Level I is for adults that have difficulty standing or walking without using a cane or walker. This class, led by Certified Athletic Trainer Josie Rasmussen, will use a combination of seated and assisted standing exercises and participants may utilize a device for standing activities. Strength and Stability Level I will meet on Monday/Wednesday from 1:15 pm – 2:00 pm at the 3266 Resource Parkway clinic in DeKalb. “Our goal is to keep people moving and I’m excited to be leading this new class,” comments Josie.

Strength and Stability Level II continues to be the same class as in the past that includes various activities and exercises in a circuit-style environment. Individuals must be comfortable exercising in a group setting and be able to stand and move independently without a cane or walker. Strength and Stability Level II classes are offered at various locations and meeting times. Space is available for the following classes: Monday/Wednesday from 12:00 noon – 1:00 pm and Tuesday/Thursday from 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm at our 3266 Resource Parkway location in DeKalb. Classes are also available Tuesday/Thursday from 12:00 noon – 1:00 pm at our Genoa location at 540 E. Main Street.
