Group Classes

Routined training plays an integral part in ones overall health.

Whole body stretching

Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight.

Basic functional exercises

Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance. Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. Your capacity for daily activities improves with regular exercise.

Foundational core training

Core exercises train the muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips, and abdomen to work together in harmony. This leads to better balance and stability, whether on the playing field or in daily activities.

Foam rolling

A foam roller is a lightweight, cylindrical tube of compressed foam. It may be used for many reasons, including increasing flexibility, reducing soreness, and eliminating muscle knots. Foam rolling is a method of self-myofascial release.

ORTHOPAEDIC REHABILITATION

This is the branch of medicine dealing with the correction of abnormalities of either bones or muscles, or the combination of the two.

This can be from repetitive movements, chronic or acute injuries, or wear and tear over time.

Here is an example of an athlete performing a shoulder rehabilitation exercise.

POSTURE AND GAIT ANALYSIS

Posture is the position in which someone holds their body when standing, sitting or lying down.
Postural assessments looks at your static posture to see if there are any imbalances that could cause or are causing pain and discomfort.

Gait analysis is merely assessing your posture in movement.

Here is an example of a client being video analysed.

ISOKINETIC TESTING

Isokinetic testing is performed at a fixed speed with the resistance matching the muscle force at that speed of movement. As you push harder or softer, the resistance of the machine changes because the speed remains constant. This gives actual values, hard evidence, of how muscle groups are working , where there is weakness and improvements can be made.

Here is an example of a strength test of the antagonistic muscle groups, the quadriceps and hamstrings, that control knee movement.
