What is Group Physiotherapy?

 

At Physical Edge Healthcare we have a strong focus on evidence based practice. We treat with individualised exercise programs to promote correct body function and alignment by improving posture, core stability, balance, control, strength, flexibility and breathing.

At Physical Edge Healthcare we focus on the individual. We value specificity and attention to detail, tailoring your treatment to directly address your personal goals and maximise your own strength and wellness.

Your indivdualised exercise program works wonders for stress relief, mental balance and improving strength and stability in the body. An effective session involves concentration, breathing and a strong mind body connection, along with a great workout.

Whether you are recovering from an injury, wanting to maintain or increase your exercise pre/postnatally or looking for something to complement and enhance your pre-existing exercise program, Group Physio is the answer. Everyone is welcome!

 

Pre-Assessment

Before starting your program, a one-on-one assessment with the physiotherapist is required, which allows your practitioner to take a thorough medical and injury history in order to formulate the best exercise plan for you with your strengths, weaknesses and goals in mind.

A real-time ultrasound may be used to assist in your assessment of core and pelvic activation. Although not always required, this can help us properly assess your pelvic floor function, which will in turn help us work out what the appropriate treatment option is for you.

 

Equipment Sessions

Our equipment sessions utilise our entire gym setup. It includes two clinical Pilates reformers, a trapeze table and a split box/chair along with a wide array of weight, foam rollers and other exercises which aim to improve functional activity. Each session is 60 minutes long and has a maximum of 4 people, which allows our trained Physiotherapists to ensure a supportive atmosphere with personal attention.
