Whether you live on Bonaire or are just visiting, you will benefit Bon Fysiotherapie, Bonaire's primary physcal therapy practice. In additon to their medical therapy practice which gets injured people moving again, the group also offers a wellness program for those of us who want to get back in shape.

The Medical Fitness Program consists of a starting visit with a Dutch-trained, licensed physical therapist to determine your starting point. After a medical history, you will be weighed (sorry!), have a body fat calculation (this really is necessary) and then have a heart rate measurement during exercise.

From this analysis a personal exercise program will be developed just for you by one of the three female or two male physical therapists. The program also includes 12 training sessions at their modern, well-equipped gym where there are always three or four physical therapists on hand.

At the end of your 12 sessions, which you can pack into any length of time you prefer, you will have another evaluation with your physical therapist to measure your progress and plan an ongoing fitness program to meet your personal goals.

You'll look better and feel better with this Medical Fitness Program. Of course, you probably already feel better for donating to Jong Bonaire. Bon Fysiotherapie joins the rest of the island in thanking you for your donation.
