Kurzemes Rehabilitācijas centrs is launching specialized “Veselai mugurai” (Healthy Back) group classes this July to help residents manage back pain and improve mobility. Led by physiotherapist Liene Zīle, the five-week course offers one-hour weekly sessions designed for small groups of up to seven participants.
What are the details of the new back health classes?
The “Veselai mugurai” program is structured as a five-week course held every Friday at 10:00 AM. Each one-hour session focuses on strengthening back muscles, improving posture, and reducing pain.
To ensure high-quality work and individual attention, the center limits each group to a maximum of seven participants. This small format allows the physiotherapist to monitor exercise execution closely and provide specific recommendations to each person.
Participants can pay €10 per individual session or pay for the entire five-week course. Because of the specific nature of these sessions, the center will not offer subscriptions.
Who is the specialist leading the sessions?
Physiotherapist Liene Zīle will lead the new Friday classes starting in July. Zīle holds a bachelor’s degree in physiotherapy from Rīga Stradiņš University and brings over six years of rehabilitation experience to the team.
Before joining Kurzemes Rehabilitācijas centrs, Zīle served as a senior physiotherapist at the Vaivari National Rehabilitation Center, one of Latvia’s leading medical institutions. Her professional focus involves assessing the functional abilities of patients throughout the rehabilitation process.
“Liene Zīles profesionālā pieredze un zināšanas ļaus paplašināt rehabilitācijas pakalpojumu klāstu un piedāvāt iedzīvotājiem jaunas, mērķtiecīgas nodarbības muguras veselības uzlabošanai un sāpju profilaksei,” says physical and rehabilitation medicine physician Dr. Agita Kukaine.
Why does this new service matter for residents?
Back pain is a widespread health issue that impacts both work capacity and general quality of life. This new service aims to provide residents with professional guidance to improve movement quality and learn effective prevention techniques.
The introduction of these classes expands the center’s existing range of health promotion and rehabilitation services. This development may allow residents to manage physical well-being more proactively in their daily lives.
What may happen next?
As the program launches this July, the limited capacity of seven participants per group could lead to a consistent waiting list. Because participants must re-apply after completing a single five-week cycle, the center may see a rotating schedule of new users attempting to access the specialized training.
