Movement and exercise therapy plays a vital role in the rehabilitation process. It is important that injured muscles restore strength and their functional capabilities. Once muscle strength has increased the therapist then works to help improve the painful movements that you were having difficulty with. Restoring quality movement for daily life with minimal pain is the goal of our exercise therapy rehabilitation process. We also use structured programs for specific sports and work rehabilitation because we understand there are different demands required of you in these roles. Our aim is to ensure that you are confident returning to your desired sport and work-related tasks.
We focus on various recovery systems to help optimize your healing, allowing you to train/move with consistency and continually progress throughout your rehab. Recovery systems are linked to lifestyle factors such as sleep, nutrition, injury mindset, behaviors, body responses and training load management.
The mind and body are highly interconnected. Our thoughts affect how we feel and how we feel can contribute to our behaviors and actions. We focus on breaking down barriers, stress reduction, mindset around injury, limiting beliefs, behavior and lifestyle change, as we understand how injury can affect your world and health.
