WHAT WE DO
Orthopaedic Rehabilitation
Orthopaedic Rehabilitation centres around all types of muscular, ligamentous, tendinous and bone injury treatments. Whether it be acute injuries that happen (due to a specific incident) such as torn ligaments, muscle strains or sprains, or more chronic injuries which involve more overuse and subsequent inflammation of specific tissues, both are treated with guided, individualised and tailored exercise prescription.
We aim to guide you through your healing process through consistent reevaluation and observation during our one on one sessions. We treat patients in Edenvale, Dunvegan, Bedfordview and the surrounding areas.
Pre & Post Operative Rehabilitation
Pre and Post Operative Rehabilitation involves the restoration of full functionality in the respective joints or tissues involved as well as any surround areas that have been compromised.
We focus on building final phase performance strength, flexibility and mobility to the point where you can go about your daily tasks, movements or sports at full capacity.
Pre Operative Rehabilitation involves strengthening and functional movement work. This is hugely beneficial to prepare the body for any type or surgeries that are unavoidable. This aids to increase your bodies recovery rate and shorten your journey back to full functionality.
Chronic Disease Management
Chronic Diseases including Hypertension, Diabetes Type 1 and 2, Coronary Heart Disease, other forms of Heart Disease, Asthma, COPD (Chronic obstructive Pulmonary Disorder), Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis and other Neurological Diseases, Alzheimers and other Dementia Diseases, Arthritis, Osteoporosis and Metabolic Disorder are all managed through tailored exercise prescription. This involves monitoring of vitals and effects of the conditions and medications on the body are our sole focus.
Exercise for all of these conditions is proven to dramatically decrease the negative effects of the disease, both in a physical and emotional capacity.
Education surrounding Chronic Diseases and the effect of regular exercise is a fundamental element to our practice, in order for our patients to better understand and manage their conditions.

Postural Correction &
Injury Prevention
Posture and Gait analyses are both crucial elements in identifying muscular imbalances within the body. These imbalances often lead to compensation of incorrect tissues, further leading to aches and pains.
We work by identifying and correcting these imbalances through different facets of exercise therapy. We strive to educate individuals on optimal and correct posture techniques through the course of their daily activities. We provide patients with techniques in order to ensure maximum efficacy in all of the activities.
A large focus is also placed on viewing the body as a whole kinetic chain working in unison, as opposed to separate joints. This allows individuals to correct their full body functional movement and avoid injuries in other parts of the body.
