how does it work?

Physio Group Exercise uses specific equipment, with spring resistance and pulleys that allow the body’s correct posture and movement patterns to be retrained. These movements can be customised to the individual, with emphasis on control of the injured or weak area(s).

Physio Group Exercise provides an excellent foundation for safe and efficient movement, minimising stress on injured structures, promoting healing in the short term and protection longer term.

what the research says

Lower back pain affects 80% of the population at some point in their life. Although an episode of lower back pain may settle in 4 to 6 weeks, the deep abdominal muscles remain impaired. These muscles attach to the spine, providing protection to your back during normal daily activities, such as bending and lifting.

Specific exercises that retrain these muscles after injury have been proven to significantly reduce the likelihood of pain returning. In fact, you are 12.4 times more likely to suffer a recurrence of back pain within three years if these muscles are not retrained.

our Physio Group Exercise program

musculo-skeletal assessment
Before starting a Physio Group Exercise program your goals are discussed, a history of previous and current injuries is taken, and assessment of posture, joint mobility, flexibility and muscle control is completed. This assists in identifying areas of weakness and if there are precautions to be considered in setting up a program for you

real time ultrasound imaging
It is advisable to have the function of your deep abdominal muscles assessed using real time ultrasound (RTUI) prior to commencing a Physio Group Exercise program. RTUI can detect impairment of these muscles and provide visual feedback, to help retrain them.

individual exercise sessions
Your first 3-5 sessions after assessment involve individual tuition by your Physiotherapist, who establishes a specific program based on your condition. These sessions focus on teaching principles of breathing, posture, spinal alignment and use of deep abdominal muscles.

group exercise sessions
Group exercise sessions allow for consolidation and improvement of exercises learnt in the individual sessions. These exercise sessions consist of small groups of three to five people completing their individualised programs under the guidance of a supervising physiotherapist.

program upgrades
Programs should be upgraded regularly to ensure continued progression. Once you are competent with your current program you will benefit from a review by your Physiotherapist.

how often do i need to come?
To gain maximum benefit it is advisable to attend two to three sessions per week for an eight to twelve week period. After this you should notice a significant difference in your posture, control, strength, flexibility and pain. At this stage you can continue to progress your Physio Group Exercise program or move on to a home or gym based exercise program. You should discuss these options with your physiotherapist to help determine the best option for your condition.

when can i come?
The studio is open from Monday to Saturday and offers a wide range of morning, afternoon and evening sessions to suit most individuals. A current timetable of group sessions is available on request.

what is the cost?
Please contact your preferred location for prices. The prices for Physio Group Exercise may differ based on the health fund affiliations at each location.
