What We Do
We Are Here to Assist You!
Upon your arrival at our practice, we conduct a complete evaluation based on your medical history and exercise goals. This includes a full posture analysis, body composition measurements, flexibility testing, muscle strength and stability testing, a gait (walking) analysis, and testing of functional movement patterns. From here, we design a clinically exercise program based on your individual needs and goals – no generic programs whatsoever.
If your medical history is slightly more complex and should need additional services- we are trained in monitoring vital signs during exercise – including blood pressure, heart rate and blood glucose levels.
Hydrotherapy
With the decreased effect of gravity, Hydrotherapy is best known exercising at lower impacts. This is an extremely useful tool used for treatment of orthopaedic injuries, where the stress placed on joints is far less than traditional land-based training, whilst still achieving muscular strength and endurance. Other benefits of hydrotherapy include improvements in balance, stability and co-ordination – which is especially beneficial for the treatment of neurological conditions, such as Parkinsons Disease or Cerebral Palsy to name a few.
Pre-And-Post Operative Rehabilitation
Exercise prescription for before operative care has been proven to improve recovery following surgical procedures. This allows for improved muscle activation and strength directly following surgery, which is often the first challenge faced. Post-operative rehabilitation is a deep passion for many Biokineticists. Following the appropriate timelines after an orthopaedic surgery, Biokineticists focus on regaining muscular strength, joint stability, motor-control and co-ordination. Moving through the clinically planned and integrated phases of exercise prescription, the Biokineticists ensures that all components of training are addressed before returning to the desired activity or sport.
Sport Specific Conditioning
Our team of Biokineticists has a keen interest in training for performance benefits within a wide variety of sports. For both individual and team sports athletes, we strive to prescribe exercise and training programs that target injury prevention specific to each sport, whilst improving the specific metabolic and mechanical demands that the sport requires of each athlete.
Pre- and post-natal exercise prescription
Exercise before, during and after pregnancy is not only proven to be beneficial for mothers, but for the health of the infant as well. Let us help you stay active and safe during each trimester of your pregnancy! Exercising during your pregnancy can improve your sleep patterns and energy levels, uplift your mood, decrease excess weight gain, strengthen the pelvic floor for a more natural birthing process, and lower pregnancy related health risks. Safety whilst exercising when pregnant is our major priority – each trimester is targeted with specific exercises that allow for both benefits of the mother and infant whilst keeping to the prescribed limits of each trimester.
