Exercise prescription involves the identification of the cause of the patient's pain and dysfunction and then the design and implementation of an exercise programme to address this. It will vary greatly between individuals, for example an elite netball player following a knee ligament reconstruction will be  taken through a completely different programme to the office worker with postural neck and shoulder pain.

Although, compliance with the appropriate exercises is essential to both patients if they want to make a full recovery. The netball player will be guided through a very graded series of balance, strengthening, plyometric exercises over a number of months, whereas the office worker will be advised and seating posture, regular breaks from sitting, regular range of movement and gentle stretches of neck, thoracic spine and shoulder girdle.

All of our physiotherapists are experienced in execrice prescription from advanced sports injury rehabilitation to more gentle rehabiliation programmes for elderly people with arthritic joints and poor balance. We also have physiotherapists that specialise in exercise rehabilitation for patients with neurological conditions such as stroke and Parkinson's.
