What is a clinical exercise session?
A clinical exercise session is a personalised and tailored program to help you recover from an injury, achieve your health goals, and stay injury-free. In one session we can use different equipment including simple to use weight machines, reformers, free weights, resistance bands and floor-based exercises.
What can these exercise sessions help with?
- Neck pain
- Shoulder pain
- Lower back and pelvic pain
- Hip and knee pain
- Postural problems
- Chronic pain
- Improving core strength
- Rehabilitation after motor vehicle or work-related accidents
- Recovery from sports injuries
- Improving sporting performance
How does it work?
Exercise physiology treatment and rehabilitation programs often include clinical exercise to retrain and restore optimal musculoskeletal function. This exercise promotes healthy neuromuscular movement patterns that alleviate pain and prevent injury - while improving body awareness, muscle balance, movement control, strength and flexibility.
What else do you need to know?
Prior to commencing a clinical exercise plan, you will require an exercise physiologist assessment to discuss your goals, identify a program and teach you how to activate your muscles properly.
Is a referral required?
No referral is required to see an exercise physiologist for an initial assessment or to attend a session.
Can I claim this service as an extra on my health insurance policy?
Attending an initial assessment with an exercise physiologist could allow you to claim private health insurance rebates on your subsequent sessions.
