Cost
One off payment of N$850 for the 8 weeks (can also be charged to Medical Aid)
As experts in movement and exercise and with a thorough knowledge of risk factors and pathology and their effects on all systems, physiotherapists are the ideal professionals to promote, guide, prescribe and manage exercise activities and efforts. Exercise promotes wellbeing and fitness
Timetable for 2021
We have listened to feedback from the previous antenatal classes we had throughout 2020 and have made some changes. The classes are now for 8 weeks (6 weeks only the mother, 2 weeks for the father/partner or family member). This means the father will have information necessary to support the mom to be through the last stages of pregnancy and after delivery. We believe this will also enable to build a little awareness and sensitivity to what pregnancy is for the father. This will increase the pricing of the classes to N$850.00
