Exercise for Injury Rehabilitation
Exercise Rehabilitation Underpins A Lot Of What We Do Here.
Most physiotherapy consultations and treatment plans will include it, and rehab exercises will often be recommended alongside sports massage treatments.
We also offer standalone exercise rehabilitation sessions in the dedicated gym space at the Boulder Shack Climbing Gym in Southampton.
These sessions are perfect to help you recover from injury, sports-related or not, and come back stronger, fitter, and more mobile.
Why Exercise Rehabilitation?
Getting and being stronger is a good thing, we all know that. This applies to injuries just as much as it would to anything else.
The best way to prevent injuries is to get stronger to have a body that is capable of meeting the demands of your daily life.
Rehabilitation using tailored exercises helps build strength and resilience back into injured tissues. This ensures that you not only make a complete recovery but that you prevent the chance of getting injured again.
Build functional capacity of the injured area
Gain an understanding of how to strengthen the area long-term
Prevent ongoing or recurring issues
Get stronger and fitter throughout your body
Incorporate sport-specific exercises to return safely and with improved performance
Physiotherapy Or Exercise Rehabilitation?
Injury Rehabilitation Or Sports Massage?
All forms of massage are great for immediate pain relief, short-term improvement in tension, and range of movement. This makes it great for symptom management in the early phase of injury recovery and managing flare-ups of chronic pain conditions.
Exercise rehabilitation is the best long-term strategy for recovering and preventing injuries. If you find your recovery stalling or you keep re-injuring the same area then this service could be for you.
Your first session will involve a discussion of your goals, your injury, and what you have tried so far.
From there we will perform an assessment to see what you can and can’t do. This gives us a baseline to work from and guides future sessions.
You will be given a tailored plan of exercises, some to be performed together under supervision, and some to be completed at home.
We will work together for a set amount of time to achieve the goals set out at the start.
