Gym-based Rehabilitation
We are pleased to partner with and use the Vision's Fitness Centre (located in Hawthorn, Melbourne) as our exercise rehabilitation facility. Vision's is a proud member of the local community since 1984! Their state of the art facility suits our purposes perfectly, with all the equipment one might need to rehabilitate from injury.
Doing "rehab" is really about undergoing exercise (supervised and/or unsupervised) to make functional gains after injury, or to improve pain. This situation's unique for everyone and can mean everything from getting moving again when in pain, recovering from something more chronic, returning to sport or activity after an injury, or rehabilitating after a surgical procedure.
In the case of surgery, we look to work closely with your surgeon's orders to maintain that continuity of care all the way through. Programs can be developed by your physiotherapist and progressed from all functional levels; from the immediate post-op phase where
you might have a little more pain and movement limitation, require a gait aid or sling and activity modifications.. all the way through to return to activity, sport, etc
