At Medicofit Clinic we perform a diagnostic test before starting preventive training, to accurately gain insight into your body’s functioning, musculoskeletal specifics and risk areas.

Many patients at Medicofit Clinic choose individual preventive training after completing the injury treatment programme, in 2021, after finishing physical therapy, more than 2/3 of patients chose to stay with the Medicofit team at least once per week in order to carry out individual preventive training.

Why Preventive Care?

Nowadays, almost everyone leads an abnormal lifestyle in terms of physically stressing your body.

Sitting for longer periods of time and having a constrained posture have a bigger negative impact on the spine compared to hard physical work, i.e. overloading the body.

A sitting position puts more pressure on the intervertebral discs than a standing position, however, it all depends on the sitting technique. When sitting properly, the pressure on the lumbar intervertebral discs increases by 10–30% of the total body weight; when sitting and slouching with a curved spine, additional pressure can increase by total extra body weight, i.e. from additional 100 to 175% of our body weight.

In a sitting position, spinal degeneration can arise 2 to 3 times faster than under normal circumstances. his fact is for demonstration purposes only, to portray that leading an optimal lifestyle no longer exists or exists on rare occasions. Therefore, the personal training programmes always have to focus on prevention, at least to some extent.

Body changes are achieved safely as we build up your body in the long term and improve your fitness and health.
