Exercise can do more than just about anything known to medical science to ensure a fit, healthy and happy life.  The benefits include weight loss, improved physical appearance, improved general health, and a vastly improved outlook for longevity.  Regular exercise enhances health by improving cardiovascular functioning, bone density, and immune functioning.  People who are physically active are much less likely to suffer from heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, back problems and colon cancer.  They are more likely to experience a stronger sense of wellbeing and exhibit better health-related factors such as body composition, glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity.  Physical activity also increases high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (“good” cholesterol) and reduces triglyceride (the chief constituent of fats) levels and blood pressure.

Physiotherapists are experts in the use of exercise to prevent and treat musculoskeletal injuries and disorders.  Their knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathology and exercise science means physiotherapists are the experts in exercise rehabilitation. 

The latest research is showing that specific exercise programs to improve function of the stabilising muscles is providing superior results.  In the back, these core stability exercise programs are reducing the incidence of pain recurrence from 80% to 30%. Utilising Clinical Pilates, physio balls, disc-o-sits and a range of other techniques and equipment in the rehabilitation gymnasium, our physiotherapists are producing excellent outcomes for patients suffering back pain.
