VIDEO OF REHAB EXERCISE SESSION
Sometimes it’s hard to imagine from words what a session will be like. Here’s a video of a rehab exercise consultation. Depending on your goals your therapist will use different equipment and different exercises.
What types of exercise might be involved?
One of the best things about working with us is our diverse skill set. This means we have multiple ways to tackle a pain or restriction complaint. We can move healthy areas safely without affecting recovering areas and we can offload or slowly build strength back in injured areas. Different bodies and even different areas of the same body respond differently to different exercise protocols, that’s why we have such an advantage in helping you become pain free while exercising safely. Win win!!
Free weights
We may use varying kinds of free weights including dumbbells, kettlebells and weighted balls to name a few. We might move an area in isolation or we might be working on strengthening a certain set of muscles or chain of the body.
Pilates equipment
Our Pilates equipment including the reformer, wunda chair and cadillac form the base of our sessions. We may also use smaller equipment such as fit balls, chi balls, magic circles and resistance bands. Pilates equipment is great for offloading an injured area or adding challenge.
Cable Machine
Our cable machine gives the right line of pull for working lower traps and mid traps - an area of the body which many people test week in. It also enables a lot of functional movements as we stand while using this piece of equipment.
Movement Therapy
Movement therapy can mean a lot of things. In this context we are referring to specific movements that we have tested help reduce or eliminate your pain or restriction. This is a great tool for you to learn as it can be utilised anywhere, anytime.
