Exercise rehabilitation is often the treatment of choice for a wide variety of problems, for example:

• Fibromyalgia.

• Chronic pain.

• Bursitis.

Clinical Pilates

Clinical Pilates is ideal for helping your rehabilitation following an injury or surgery. It differs from the generic Pilates classes offered at fitness centres because our classes account for your specific needs due to your injuries, surgery or chronic condition.

Your Clinical Pilates exercises are unique to you and focused on your posture, core stability, balance, control, strength, flexibility and breathing. It’s practised on equipment, such as reformers, as well as mat-based exercises in semi-private classes or individual sessions.

Physio-led exercise classes

Our physio-led exercise classes are ideal for patients suffering from back and neck pain, arthritis, osteoporosis, lymphoedema and pelvic floor dysfunction. Exercise is a vital part of your rehabilitation and your physio develops a program that’s designed to cater for your specific needs.

Starting with an initial assessment, you’ll join our semi-private physio-led exercise classes where everyone has their own individually prescribed program.

Strength classes in O’Connor

Our strength classes in O’Connor, also known as resistance training or functional strength and conditioning, are extremely popular with our rehabilitation patients. These classes include lifting light weights, using resistance bands, push-ups, crunches, leg squats and weight machines.

Resistance training aims to support everyday movements, such as walking, pushing, pulling, bending, jumping and squatting. Your program is designed to account for your unique situation, whilst improving your muscular strength.
