Work Related Strengthening Programs

(For workplace-related information, please refer to our Workplace Solutions page)

Work hardening program Our work related strengthening program identifies an injured worker's current functional abilities and limitations, after which the individual is progressively rehabilitated to the physical condition that is required of them to return safely to the work environment.

The work related strengthening rehabilitation program utilises exercises and functional work related activities in an organized sequence to recondition the individual and facilitate a safe and timely return to work.

The work related strengthening program usually lasts for 6-10 weeks, and includes the following:

An initial assessment,
Comprehensive written reports denoting each stage of the program,
Personal training sessions with our Physiotherapists and Strength and Conditioning Specialist, 2-3 times per week,
A final assessment to mark progress from initial assessment.

Personal Training

Active Body Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation is expanding into the Personal Training sector and we would like you to benefit from the great deals we have on offer.

One-on-one sessions are ideal for those who lack motivation, are unsure of what kind of exercises to do or simply for those individuals who want to have fun whilst training.

Each client will undergo a full fitness assessment prior to the commencement of training. This assessment will not only address areas of weakness, but will also provide a baseline to which improvements can be measured. Each session is tailored to the individual whether it is in the area of weight loss, injury rehabilitation, strength and toning or sports specific conditioning.

Appointments are 1 hour in length and can either be carried out at the practice or in the comfort of your own home.

Sports Conditioning

Active Body's rehabilitation and sports conditioning team can provide athletes from all sporting disciplines with specific programs that allow the individual to achieve his or her highest level of excellence.

Active Body's multi-disciplinary team can provide sport-specific training for both the highly competitive athlete, and the recreational athlete.

Biomechanical Assessment and Exercise Training Program

Active Body Physiotherapy would like to introduce its new Biomechanical Assessment and Exercise Training Programs that individuals of all ages, backgrounds and fitness levels can participate in.

Active Body utilises a multi-faceted approach to create customised rehabilitation and exercise programs. The primary goal of our facility is to be the best provider of rehabilitation services, strength and conditioning assessments and program development.

The aim of our new initiative is to provide the client with a complete biomechanical assessment that will uncover any underlying problems and or areas of weaknesses. With these results a structured exercise program will be developed for that individual to help increase their strength and possibly reduce the chance of injury further down the track.

During the patients first session, the biomechanical assessment will be 45 minutes and then the results will be discussed fully with the patient during this time. With these results, a specialised strengthening program will be developed so that in the subsequent training session the patient will be provided with a full home exercise program. The patient will be correctly instructed in their necessary exercises, and will have all exercises and/or stretches provided on a program card. Each training session will last one hour in duration and will be one to one with our exercise therapists.

With this home exercise program, the client will be responsible for the management of their own exercises but will return to Active Body either weekly or fortnightly to review with the staff so as to progress their program or rectify any associated problems.

These sessions are health fund claimable through the HICAPS claim system, so the client is only responsible for the gap at the time of consultation.

Should you require further information or would like to take advantage of this new program, please do not hesitate in contacting Active Body.
