Exercise Rehab is such an important part of what we do here at goPhysio.
Rehabilitation, by definition, means “To make fit again” – and that’s exactly what our rehab service helps you with!
From our dedicated Strong Room, our team of graduate Sports & Rehabilitation Therapists, will take you beyond the treatment room and help you recover stronger and more confident.
Many people might be a bit wary of exercise rehab, going into an equipped exercise space, with weights and lot’s of equipment and being pushed a little outside the comfort zone. So, we thought we’d answer a few questions or concerns that might be on your mind!
Why would I need to do exercise rehabilitation?
Gone are the days of lying on a treatment couch and being a passive recipient of ‘treatment’ for weeks on end. Getting active and getting moving is such an important part of recovery from an injury. Yes, the treatment room has a part to play, but to fully recover from most injuries, you need to get stronger, more mobile and more flexible. It takes hard work and investment but it’s not easy. Where do you start? What do you do? That’s where we come in!
Our team of sports and exercise rehab therapists will put together a bespoke exercise program just for you, your injury and your lifestyle. They take into account all the important factors in your life and work with you, making sure we carefully balance the challenge and support we offer. We then guide you through your rehab journey, ‘holding your hand’ as little or as much as you need, giving you the confidence and tools to progress.
I’ve never been in a ‘gym’ before, surely it’s not for me?
Don’t worry – that’s the benefit of what we offer! Whether you’re a regular gym goer or have never even stepped foot inside a gym, because it’s a bespoke and 1-2-1 service, you’ll feel at ease.
It’s almost like ‘Clinical Personal Training’ so you get the results of exercise based training, but with the Clinical expertise, taking into account your injury, the stage of healing and what you realistically need to achieve.
The fact it’s 1-2-1 means you get the some attention of the Therapist.
I don’t think I’d be able to do the exercises!
Our team at goPhysio work closely together. It’s often the case that treatment with your Physio or Sports Therapist will reach a point when it’s really important to focus more on exercise based therapy. If that’s the direction you’d like to take, your Physio or Sports Therapist will complete a comprehensive referral into the rehab service, so your injury and where you are in your recovery path is established. This provides a great starting point for your rehab.
Your program will be fully bespoke and can be adjusted at any time.
I’ve got an injury, won’t it make it worse?
The latest scientific evidence supports and advocates the use of exercise as one of the best ways to manage and recover from most injuries. It really is magic! But you need to do the right exercises at the right time, too much, too soon can make an injury worse, too little or targeting the wrong areas won’t help your recovery. That’s where our expertise comes in.
Can’t I just do the exercises myself?
As part of all our Physio and Sports Therapy appointments, we’ll always provide a bespoke exercise programme for you to do in between appointments. This will be emailed to you with pictures and videos and full instructions, so you can carry on progress in your own time. Many people struggle with doing exercises themselves. It may be you don’t have time, don’t feel confident or are wary of what to do.
Having that 1-2-1 support and a session scheduled, this is a great way to build your confidence and make progress. We also have lot’s of equipment to hand so we can do a wider range of exercises and push you with your recovery a little more.
How much does rehab cost and how do I book in?
Sessions can be booked at any time. Each 1-2-1 session lasts 45 minutes and costs £65. We also have a range of discounted packages which offer better value and improved commitment, accountability and longer term outcomes. Read more about Packages here.
