Post-Surgery Recovery

Examples: Knee replacement, hip replacement, rotator cuff repair.

Challenges: Post-surgery recovery varies depending on the procedure, your age, and overall health. Some patients may struggle with pain and stiffness, while others need support regaining strength and mobility.

How Individualised Therapy Helps:

• Tailored exercise plans help restore range of motion and strength while minimising discomfort.
• Guidance on pacing ensures safe and effective recovery at your own speed.
• Specific functional goals, like climbing stairs or walking without assistance, are prioritized based on your needs.

Mobility Challenges in Aged Care

Examples: Balance issues, falls prevention, arthritis.

Challenges: Reduced strength and balance in older adults can lead to a loss of independence and an increased risk of falls.

How Individualized Therapy Helps:

• • Exercises to improve balance and coordination are tailored to your current abilities.

• • Gentle, progressive strength training helps maintain or restore mobility.

• • Specific strategies, like environmental modifications or assistive devices, ensure safe and confident movement.

Sports and Activity-Related Injuries

Examples: ACL tears, tennis elbow, sprained ankles.

Challenges: Athletes and active individuals often face pressure to return to their sport quickly, risking reinjury without proper recovery.

How Individualized Therapy Helps:

• • Sport-specific rehab focuses on rebuilding strength, flexibility, and agility needed for your activity.

• • Programs address the underlying cause of injury to prevent recurrence.

• • Gradual progression ensures readiness to safely return to your sport.

Neurological Conditions

Examples: Stroke recovery, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease.

Challenges: Neurological conditions often affect mobility, coordination, and independence, with highly variable impacts from one person to another.

How Individualized Therapy Helps:

• • Customized exercises help retrain your brain and body to work together, improving movement and function.

• • Programs include strategies to adapt to new challenges, such as assistive techniques for daily tasks.

• • Ongoing adjustments ensure your therapy evolves with your condition.

Chronic Pain and Overuse Injuries

Examples: Tendinitis, sciatica, repetitive strain injuries.

Challenges: Chronic pain and overuse injuries can disrupt work, hobbies, and daily life, often requiring long-term management strategies.

How Individualized Therapy Helps:

• • Education about pain management and biomechanics reduces strain and prevents worsening.

• • Therapy focuses on relieving pain while improving strength and flexibility.

• • Functional exercises target specific movements or tasks, such as lifting or typing, to restore comfort and confidence.
