Exercise Rehab: Strength Training

Our health practitioners strongly believe that our role in your health is not just to help to alleviate your symptoms, but also to help you to stop this from happening again. Whether it be chronic pain or acute injury, there is a huge body of evidence to suggest that you will require some form of therapeutic exercise to address the underlying cause of your symptoms. Be it carefully prescribed strength work, mobility work, stretching or a combination of these.

By following our advice around exercise, our clients often return to their chosen exercise or activity stronger than before they got injured.

Restoring Mobility and Function with Exercise Therapy

We always say that hands on treatment is your short-term solution and exercise rehabilitation is your long-term solution.

Carefully prescribed resistance work, when done well, can help to stimulate a better healing response in your injured tissue, create stability around various joints and increase the capacity of cartilage, tendon, muscle and even bone.

We have specifically designed our rehabilitation gym so that we can take you through a graduated exercise program. We will demonstrate and practice new exercises with you and give you the confidence to work on your exercise program at home or in your own gym. Our goal is to give you with the tools to look after your body long term.

We use PhysiApp to provide you with your exercise program, so you can have all of your exercises and stretches, along with sets, reps, explanations, and videos in one place on your phone.

Exercise rehabilitation also focuses firmly on a graduated and targeted return to the activity, exercise or sport of choice. We will guide you with tailored walking, running, hydrotherapy or gym programs depending on what is best for your body.

Depending on your area of injury, it can be useful for you to be able to move without the restriction of tight clothes. Sporting and exercise attire can make assessment and treatment much easier.

Don’t worry, though, your therapist will have a range of towels and shorts to lend you if you get stuck. We want you to feel completely comfortable during your appointment.

In your first treatment session, you will be greeted at reception and asked to fill out an intake form.

Your physiotherapist will then take you into a consultation room and start with taking your relevant history, establishing what you hope to achieve out of your session and viewing any scans you might have available. They will then take you through a thorough physical assessment and help to establish a clear diagnosis, as well help to identify any contributing factors.

Following this, you will often receive hands-on treatment in the first session (provided it is likely to help you) as well as be provided with an idea of a management plan. Typically, you will be given some preliminary exercises in your first session, although sometimes this is better off left to later sessions, depending on your injury.

We always aim to meet and exceed your expectations!

It’s always difficult to say as it is very dependent on your injury. The initial sessions will typically be about reducing your symptoms, with follow-up sessions being more about helping you to reduce the risk of ongoing pain and dysfunction.

We always aim to keep the number of sessions to the minimum effective amount and pack each session with as much treatment, exercise and valuable education and advice as possible.

We often say that hands-on treatment is your short term answer and that exercise rehabilitation is your long-term solution. So once we have worked with you over a period of time to reduce your symptoms, we will do a few things to reduce the risk of recurrence:

Education about when you can and can’t do while exercising
Exercise-based rehabilitation with tailored rehab programs
Customised return to sport and exercise programs
Advice around lifestyle, ergonomics, sleep, and posture
