Why do our Clinical Exercise Class?
Whether returning from injury, wishing to prevent injury or improve form, posture and core strength, clinical exercise can help. Life is tough on our bodies. We grow more and more imbalanced in the course of daily living. We carry our bags on one shoulder and our children on one hip. We might be sitting in front of a computer all day, and if we get up to exercise, we might be swinging a golf club or tennis racquet on one side or a poor posture takes a turn for the worse, when we go out for a run.
Our exercise programs are a corrective system of exercise where you will gain strength in a balanced way so that tight, tense areas are released and weak areas strengthened.
The focus is on training the body to develop core strength, control and postural awareness, and allowing the body to move in the most efficient way
Who can benefit?
A wide range of people can benefit – young, older, injured, uninjured and regardless of fitness level.
All exercises are individually tailored to each person, ensuring safety and benefits for people of all physical capabilities.
How long will I have to participate in the class before I see results?
Results depend on your particular injury or goal, but as a general rule most people who participate 1-2 times a week will see significant improvements after 10-12 weeks. We take a range of measures to test you strength, flexibility and movement control before you start so that your program can be tailored to your needs. These measures are reviewed over time to ensure you are continuing to improve and benefit, and to further tailor your program.
Initial Screening Assessment:
All patients will require an initial consultation with a Physiotherapist prior to joining group classes, to ensure a personalised program. eg. One person may need to recover from injury or manage chronic musculoskeletal problems and another person may want to aim for general fitness and develop muscle tone.
The classes are conducted by our physiotherapists who have high levels of expertise aimed at injury prevention, rehabilitation and general fitness.
All sessions are 60mins in length and have four people to a class.
