Cardiorespiratory rehabilitation involves the treatment of conditions that affect one of/both their cardiovascular (heart) or respiratory (lungs) systems. This can be used to help manage symptoms following surgery and as a long term plan. A tailored program will be developed to assist in building a stronger aerobic base and a stronger respiratory resilience.

Treated conditions include: Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Bronchitis, Emphysema, Heart or lung surgery, Heart attack, Heart failure, and Respiratory Infections.

Neurological rehabilitation can help manage symptoms and delay the progress of some neuro-denerative conditions. Programs will be developed for your specific condition and goals to improve your ability performing everyday activities with more confidence. A targeted approach will focus on musculoskeletal deficits alongside cognitive functioning.

Treated conditions include: Spinal Cord Injury, Acquired Brain Injury, Traumatic Brain Injury, Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, Cerebral Paulsy, and Autism (ASD).

Metabolic Condition Management looks to promote the positive processing and distribution of macronutrients (e.g. fats, proteins and carbohydrates) through exercise. These disorders can be genetic or lifestyle based and can vary in their signs and symptoms.

Treated conditions include: Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome, Obesity, Mitochondrial Disease, High Blood Pressure, and High Cholesterol.

Only 1 in 3 people aged 65 and over meet the physical activity guidelines. As we age, the amount of exercise that we do tends to decrease. With this increase in sedentary tendencies, our functional capacity decreases with a gradual loss in muscle mass. 

Regardless of age, the body responds to exercise in a variety of ways including helping manage your weight, recover from illness, reduce disease risk and most importantly, maintain your independence.

1 in 4 people aged 65 and over have at least 1 fall per year. These falls are often a result of a decrease in stability and our ability to move freely. Falls are the major cause of hospitalisation related injury and disability in this age category. Improving lower limb strength, balance and spatial awareness are key areas to look at when reducing falls risk.

Areas covered: Balance, Lower and upper resistance exercises, Aerobic exercises, Cognition training, Coordination training, and Osteoporosis/Osteopenia.

For those who have been diagnosed with a mental illness, exercise has been shown to boost your mood, concentration and alertness as well as improving your overall physical health. Any form of exercise is beneficial and can promote the regulation of serotonin, stress hormones and endorphins.

The benefits of exercising for someone with mild-moderate depression can be as effective as an antidepressant or psychological treatments

Treated conditions include: Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Schizophrenia, Psychosis, Bipolar Disorder, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Whether you’re currently injured, have a joint replacement coming up or are in recovery from it, having a structured plan helps get you back to the things you love doing sooner. 

Rehabilitation of an injury can come in many forms depending on the injured region. The main goal will be to restore function to the region through a tailored, gradual program that takes the time to ensure imbalances are ironed out.

Joint replacement prehabilitation will focus on optimising your physical fitness and function before surgery. The main goal will be to improve muscular strength, cardiovascular fitness and overall physical function leading to improved post surgery outcomes.

Postoperative rehabilitation aims to restore the function, strength and mobility of the limb. A customised program will be provided to restore not only the specific area affected by the surgery but holistically to ensure no stone is left unturned as you gradually increase your physical activity levels.

Replacement regions include: Knee replacement, Hip replacement, Shoulder replacement, Ankle replacement, and Elbow replacement.
