UNDERSTANDING YOUR TREATMENT

What is Exercise Prescription?

Exercise prescription is the core of modern physiotherapy. It involves a physiotherapist designing a highly specific, progressive exercise program tailored exactly to your body’s unique biomechanics, injury status, and physical goals. Rather than generic workouts, these clinical exercises focus on precise muscle activation, joint stability, and progressive loading to rebuild tissue strength safely.

Highly specific, progressive program Tailored to your biomechanics, injury status, and physical goals.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do I need a gym membership to do these exercises?
No. While we can incorporate gym equipment if you have access to it, most of our exercise programs are designed to be done comfortably at home using minimal equipment like resistance bands or your own body weight.
Will the exercises cause me more pain?
Rehab exercises should not cause sharp, damaging pain. You may feel muscular fatigue or a "good burn" as your muscles work, which is normal. We always ensure the exercises are dosed correctly for your pain tolerance.
How often will my program be updated?
As your strength and mobility improve, your exercises will become too easy. Your physiotherapist will regularly progress your program by adding weight, changing the movement, or increasing reps to ensure continuous improvement.
I'm not very active; can I still do this?
Absolutely. Exercise prescription is scaled exactly to your current fitness level. We start with very gentle, manageable movements and slowly build your confidence.
How is this different from a personal trainer?
A physiotherapist is a medical professional trained extensively in pathology, tissue healing, and biomechanics. We prescribe exercises specifically to rehabilitate injured or diseased tissues safely, whereas personal trainers focus on general fitness.
What happens if I experience pain while doing my prescribed exercises?
You should stop immediately. While muscle fatigue is normal, sharp or worsening joint pain is not. Contact your physiotherapist so we can adjust your program to a safer, more comfortable level.
Do I need to continue the exercises once my pain is gone?
Yes, we highly recommend continuing a maintenance version of your program. Staying strong and active is the most effective way to prevent the injury from returning in the future.
