Like we describe on our Gym-based rehabilitation page, we have deliberately chosen to partner with and use the Vision's Fitness Centre (located in Hawthorn, Melbourne) as our strength and conditioning 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 take their training to the next level.

Strength & conditioning can mean different things to different people. It is cut from the same cloth as "rehab". For seasoned exercisers, it's usually associated with a high-level of sports science. But for those with less experience in the gym, it need not be a scary concept. At the heart of it, strength & conditioning (or, S&C for short) aims to empower people, enhancing and optimising overall physical performance, preventing injury, and fostering a path towards personalised fitness goals.

Through our individualised physio-based S&C programs, we strive to optimise function, and promote enduring musculoskeletal health.
