What is Clinical Rehab?

Clinical Rehab is an exercise class using a mixture of specialised Pilates equipment, weights and gym equipment. A physiotherapist first performs a thorough clinical examination to determine your diagnosis and body parts to target. A program is then developed with exercises selected especially for you based on your goals. They also supervise the class to ensure you are performing them with the correct technique. Classes are a maximum 4 client to 1 therapist, with each client performing their own individual routine at their own level.

Who is it for?

Clinical Rehab is for everyone! From 16 year old to 90 year old, men and women! Some common reasons people might attend classes include:

– Post surgical rehabClinical Rehab Symmetry Physiotherapy

Why should I do Clinical Rehab?

Clinical Rehab is great because there is such a variety of exercises. There are gentle exercises for those just recovering from surgery, or the older population. However, don’t be fooled into thinking
classes are easy! High level exercises can be challenging for those who really want to improve their
strength and endurance! Clinical rehab focuses on building strength and improving functional capacity If you have a strong stable base (i.e your core) then doing other activities whether it be running, lifting your kids, doing the gardening – all become easier. There are a range of exercises that focus on all other muscle groups too.
