Resistance Band Exercises

Active methodology aimed at optimal health using elastic bands

How does it work?

The use of resistant tapes as a form of exercise is becoming increasingly popular.

As with normal rubber bands, the voltage in the resistance strips and ropes increases when they are stretched; this provides the resistance needed for strength training. Muscle exercise with elastic bands has clinically proven effectiveness and the exercises can be performed both in the physiotherapy office and at home. They can be used by all age groups due to the ability to dose resistance. They can practice it:

  • Healthy people who want to keep their body healthy and vibrant;
  • People with chronic problems who want to maintain their condition;
  • People who want to improve their lifestyle;
  • Conditions after injuries, diseases, etc.;

What are the main benefits?

Exercise with elastic bands improves:

  • volume of movement;
  •  coordination;
  • balance;
  • muscle strength and endurance;

OKTO recommends

Elastic bands have different resistance that can be dosed. Different levels of resistance will be combined to create a personalized workout. The difficulty of the exercises will be in line with your capabilities.

I had a great massage at the OKTO Clinic. Liyana was very friendly, and was very good at targeting a back injury I was suffering from, and told her to focus on. I will definitely return for another deep tissue massage!

I appreciated the personal approach of the always smiling team (Kostas and Dimitar), making me feel comfortable and understood. Each visit was beneficial and productive, providing a relief and noticeable improvement. The supportive environment made me eager to return and continue taking care of myself. It's a great place where you’ll feel valued and encouraged. Highly recommended!read more

I found Okto after suffering from a bad disc herniation and was prescribed physiotherapy from a neurologist.From the moment you step foot inside the clinic, you feel comfortable and welcome. The staff is extremely kind and professional. Also as a foreigner, I felt really included.The clinic is... quite modern, with top-notch equipment, ready for all kinds of procedures, which all have worked wonders for me. I entered the clinic limping and slouching - after my therapy I felt pain-free, energized and brand new.A special thanks to Dr. Kostas and Dr. Dayana for their amazing work and awesomeness.A place I definitely recommend to my colleagues, friends and family.read more

I used the service after breaking my wrist. The team (Kostas and Dimitar) helped me recover super quickly. After 3 weeks of physio, I was able to gain almost full mobility of the wrist. I loved that the place doesn't feel like a hospital and at the same time it's pristine. After spending sometime... in Pirogov, I didn't want to hear about hospitals and this place was a breath of fresh air.read more

Highly recommend Okto-physiotherapy .The first thing that impressed me was the great interior combined with incredible cleanliness. On the second place, I was amazed by the attitude of the team - very kind, friendly and always smiling. I am a dentist and I had very bad back pain because of my... profession. I wasn't used to going to massages until I started visiting the clinic. Mitko is an exceptional professional who, in addition to working beautifully, has a personal attitude and great care for both the patient and every single detail. He makes you completely relaxed.Since I am visiting the clinic I have no pain and feel great! I think it is a great way to take care of ourselves, so I recommend it wholeheartedly.read more

Okto is the best physio practice I’ve been to. They make you feel amazing from walking into the centre to leaving and in between sessions, with follow up messages and check ups. I live in London, originally from Sofia and I was impressed by the professionalism and attention to detail. I have to say... that Dimityr has managed to make a difference to my shoulder, back and neck pains over 3 sessions! It’s incredible. Thank you so much. I’ll always be back to see you when in Bulgaria.read more
