Exercise Prescription
It is often said “exercise is medicine”. In many chronic medical conditions, in fact, if you exercise properly, you will need less medicine.
What is “Exercise Prescription”?
Exercise prescription requires an understanding of pathology, biomechanics and physiology of adaptation. Our physiotherapists and exercise physiologists have the expertise and experience designing exercises for diverse clinical needs. For example, a postnatal recovery program will have a different focus to one that treats chronic low back pain, even though core muscle activation is a common component.
We also love to develop exercises for health promotion purposes, to enable our clients to not only to get well, but to stay well. We will send you a written plan and your own set of exercise videos to make sure you are performing the right movements and appropriate numbers of sets and repetitions.
Evolve Your Exercises as You Get Better
Much like a medical prescription, you should review and change your exercises as you change – this often means as your symptoms subside, we need to make it more challenging to continue improving your strength, endurance and functional capacity.
