pleasure is essential
an approach based on well-being
pleasure is a fundamental component of any physical activity. we firmly believe that moving should be a source of joy and not a constraint. physical activity should never lead to suffering, whether physical or psychological.
the important thing is to establish a sustainable routine that integrates harmoniously into your daily life, so that well-being becomes a habit and not an exception.
a tailored support
we know that each individual is unique. that is why we focus on personalized and attentive support. by taking the time to understand your needs, goals, and constraints, we create a framework adapted to your ambitions, without unnecessary pressure.
semi-annual interviews are organized to assess your progress. during these meetings, we discuss:
your physical assessments to track your performance and condition.
if necessary, your biological parameters to better understand your needs.
your lifestyle habits to support the transition to a more active and healthy lifestyle.
breaking with sedentariness
adopting an active lifestyle is not limited to practicing a physical activity or sport:
it is a global change that affects your habits and mental well-being. our approach helps you gradually break with sedentariness by offering tools, advice, and tailored support. every step counts, and we are here to guide you at every stage.
together, let's build a sustainable routine that combines pleasure and health. because well-being is not a goal to achieve, but a path to follow...
physical goals of the OKenawa® program

personal goals
an individualized approach and lasting results
as part of a personalized training program, the personal goals are carefully defined and planned after an in-depth individual interview. this moment of exchange is essential to:
understand the specifics and expectations of each participant.
take into account health status, physical limitations, and medical history.
based on this information, realistic and adapted goals are established. this approach ensures that the proposed exercises are:
safe : respecting the individual's physical capabilities.
beneficial : promoting measurable and continuous progress while avoiding unnecessary risks.
the training focuses on several areas:
muscle strengthening : building a solid foundation to support the body daily.
balance improvement : reducing the risk of falls and enhancing stability.
injury prevention : anticipating risky situations through adapted exercises and advice.
continuous monitoring to maintain motivation
the process also includes regular monitoring to:
assess the progress made at each stage.
adjust exercises based on results and capabilities.
encourage and maintain participants' motivation throughout their journey.
common goals
the spirit of group at the heart of the dynamic
one of the pillars of our approach is to cultivate a strong group spirit through common goals. these goals, collectively defined by the participants, promote cohesion, motivation, and the pleasure of progressing together.
inspiring collective initiatives
the common activities are varied and adapted to the group's desires and interests. among them:
participation in the world osteoporosis day.
outdoor excursions : walks to combine physical activity, nature, and conviviality.
special training sessions : with recognized external speakers, to bring expertise and new ideas, such as:
franco pisino, national coach of the swiss karate team.
gaetano leto, former world karate champion.
the de vido couple, experts in karate-jutsu and karate-health.
shared goals to move forward together
these common activities are not limited to their physical dimension: they strengthen the bond between participants, stimulate collective motivation, and offer beautiful memories.
together, we enrich ourselves with the strengths of others, while moving towards common goals.
health goals
evaluate the benefits of the OKenawa® program
the adapted physical program OKenawa® aims to demonstrate its effectiveness compared to a classic management of patients with osteoporosis. several key parameters are observed:
frequency of falls : reduction in the number of falls thanks to better balance and increased stability.
recurrence of fractures : reduction of secondary fractures related to bone fragility.
biological and immunological parameters : monitoring markers to evaluate the overall impact of physical activity.
body composition : detailed monitoring of bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone score (TBS), essential indicators for skeletal strength.
quality of life : improvement of general well-being and participant satisfaction.
secondary objectives
in addition to these main benefits, the OKenawa® program aims, as far as possible, to:
examine the acceptability and compliance with the requested physical training program.
confirm the anti-inflammatory effect of physical training on patients with osteoporosis (immunological parameters).
the goal is not performance, but the pleasure of movement in routine and long-term regularity...
