What is Exercise Therapy?
Exercise therapy is a personalised movement and rehabilitation program delivered by your osteopath, tailored to your body’s unique needs and goals. Through expert assessment of your posture, strength, flexibility, balance, and movement patterns, we design a structured plan that helps:
- Improve strength, mobility, and functional movement
- Boost flexibility and joint resilience
- Enhance balance, coordination, and injury prevention
- Reduce pain and support recovery from injury or long-term conditions
- Build confidence in movement and promote better posture
- These exercises are taught clearly during in-clinic sessions and refined for safe and effective continuation at home. Over time, this approach fosters faster recovery, improved posture, greater confidence, and long-lasting musculoskeletal health.
Who is Exercise Therapy for?
Exercise Therapy benefits a wide range of people, including those:
- Recovering from injury or surgery
- Managing chronic musculoskeletal conditions (e.g., low back pain, arthritis)
- Experiencing postural challenges or impaired mobility
- Looking to maintain function and strength as they age
- Aiming to proactively improve physical performance, posture, or movement confidence
- Wanting a long-term self-management plan to sustain their wellbeing
