Our rehabilitation programs involve:

• Individually tailored programs to aid recovery and prevent injury.
  • These may involve muscle and/or joint rehabilitation. They may target the particular injured joint/muscle, but also involve other areas of the body which may be related to the problem.
  • Programs look at all aspects of injury/fitness: Strength, Mobility, Endurance and/or speed, Function, Skill and Power.
• Strengthening and stretching.
  • Strengthening involves exercises against moderate to heavy force to improve muscle size and strength.
  • Stretching is performed by the therapists or the patient themselves. Sustained movement to improve muscle length or joint mobility.
• Lumbar stabilisation.
  • Lumbar and lower abdominal stabilisation programs (introduction to Pilates philosophy).
• Postural correction.
  • Postural correction to improve abnormal postural loading (eg. in neck/shoulder region) and restore normal spinal curves (which can be lost with the ageing process).
• Pilates based exercise rehabilitation programs.
  • See Melbourne Pilates.
