Our specialised dialysis exercise programme has been created to help people receiving dialysis treatment to use the time to build their muscle conditioning.
With adaptable movements that can be completed while dialysising in a chair or bed, the exercises can be carried out without disturbing the patient’s dialysis site.
The programme contains 7 sessions of gentle exercise focusing on the upper body, lower body and core strength, and one education class, all created by experts in kidney health.

Helping dialysis patients maintain strength and physical function
Patients who need to undergo dialysis treatment can be susceptible to muscle loss, fatigue and other challenges that affect their wellbeing.
Our dialysis exercise programme is backed by Kidney Research UK, and hosted on our clinically-proven digital health platform.
It has been created to support people who require dialysis to maintain physical function, energy levels and increase their mood, all of which can help mitigate symptoms associated with kidney disease and improve quality of life.

Anthony - Patient
“Being able to freely access Beam has enabled me to extend my exercise routine by participating in a range of on-demand classes. I feel this has greatly improved my ability to exercise different muscle groups and has led to me feeling a much improved overall level of fitness. Some days it can be challenge to summon the enthusiasm to do a class, but the way Beam works always leaves you feeling glad that you did and keeps you coming back for more”

“We know that keeping active makes us feel good, but when you’re living with a long term condition, it’s not always easy. Beam gives people the chance to take control of physical and mental wellbeing, at their own pace, with guidance (if needed) from people who understand the complexities”
