Exercise Therapy Programmes
are wonderful provided that they are specific to the person's problem and not just generic. Otherwise we will continue to run constantly into overuse syndromes and adaptive lesions in the musculo skeletal system which we see all the time in people who exercise too much in the presence of mechanical dysfunction. Monitored exercises followed by an examination by a physiotherapist are the best way of ensuring that the patient does not put any adverse stresses through the already aggravated joints/soft tissue, and that physiotherapy combined with exercise leads to permanent improvement.

The Strength of our Programme
is assured by the very high professional credentials of the therapists practising at the Clinic. Rehabilitation starts with early recognition of the problem, sound diagnosis, manual therapy aimed at the restoration of normal joint mechanics of the injured areas as well as normal flexibility/tone in the surrounding soft tissue. This leads to designing a progressive exercise programme specific to the type of injury by the physiotherapist and exercise therapist in order to maintain the correction achieved during the physiotherapy treatment. This programme is progressive and continually assessed to reflect the current stage of healing.

As rehabilitative sciences evolve
and new information becomes available, the Clinic's therapists make every effort to keep up-to-date. Each month, there is an in-house educational session attended by the Clinic's therapists. All of the therapists are actively involved in post-graduate education.
