What to expect when visiting the practice

  • Firstly, a thorough assessment will be done, using scientific methods and instruments, whether for rehabilitation of an injury, treatment of a condition or enhancement of sport performance. This can include taking a detailed health history, postural analysis, assessment of range of motion, isometric and isotonic strength tests, neuro-muscular assessment, biofeedback, etc. This will all be done in order to identify exercise risks like heart or respiratory problems, blood pressure or glucose levels, muscle strengths and weaknesses, power, endurance, flexibility, speed of movement, body posture, body composition and fat percentage, etc.
  • The next step will be to develop a tailor made rehabilitation treatment or developed plan/ programme based on the information gained from the assessments, helping to correct the underlying problems and alleviate the client’s symptoms or enhance the individuals performance. The report or plan will be presented to the client in a follow-up session, discussed in detail and exercises demonstrated
  • It is preferable that the client is assisted on regular basis, during revisits to the practise, with help and supervision during the implementation phase. Specialised equipment and measurements is available to put the program in action and closely monitor improvement.
