Who Benefits from Physio Group Exercise?
Our Process
Comprehensive Musculo-Skeletal Assessment
Our initial assessment covers personal goals, a detailed history of past and current injuries, and evaluations of posture, mobility, flexibility, and muscle function.
Real-Time Ultrasound Imaging
Prior to commencing, ultrasound imaging is recommended to assess the function of deep abdominal muscles, offering real-time feedback to guide exercise adjustments.
Individual Exercise Sessions
During the initial 3-5 sessions, one-on-one guidance from a physiotherapist ensures a program tailored to individual needs, with a focus on breathing, spinal alignment, and core muscle engagement.
Small Group Exercise Sessions
Once comfortable with the basics, participants join small group sessions (3-6 people), where individualised programs are followed under physiotherapist supervision.
Regular Program Upgrades
Sessions are periodically reviewed and updated to maintain progress and align with evolving fitness goals.
Research on Physio Group Exercise
Studies indicate that core-focused exercises can be beneficial in managing lower back concerns and reducing the likelihood of recurrent pain. For example, individuals without post-injury core retraining may have an increased chance of experiencing back pain recurrence within three years. (Reference: Louw et al., 2017)
