Clinically Supervised Gymnasium

Clinically Supervised Gymnasium

At Healthcare on Collins, we have a comprehensive onsite Clinically Supervised Gym.

Why?
Prior to installing the gym we always felt that there was a missing element to the clients rehabilitation programs as they would often be left to do their end stage rehab at commercial gyms. A consequence of this was that many clients would have setbacks or not progress as expected because of poor instruction or lack of supervision. With the oversight of a physiotherapist, sports specific exercises can be given, corrections to technique can be made and load changes can be carefully monitored.

The gym is used for one-to-one rehabilitation exercise instruction and group Clinical Exercise Classes where clinicians make use of a comprehensive range of equipment which includes Pilates reformers, trapeze table, free weights, squat rack, a pin loaded cable machine. Many other equipment pieces are used for specific rehabilitation such as Bosu balls, Swiss balls, hurdles and ladders for agility training and colour coded exercise bands.

VALD equipment such as Nordbord for hamstring strength testing and rehabilitation is also part of the rehabilitation gymnasium along with Forcedeck Dual Force Plate Systemand Forceframe Strength Testing System. A treadmill and video are used for gait and running analysis.

Should you be going in for surgery then more and more people are seeing the benefit of ‘prehab’ where the better they are before surgery, the better they will be after. In fact, this is often strongly recommended by surgeons. The sessions are conducted by Physiotherapists who can help you to understand what to expect pre and post-surgery, how long your rehabilitation will be and to help you to set realistic milestones. Of course, they are always there to answer any questions you may have.

As you would imagine the health and safety of clients is paramount to us and so you can be rest assured that a clinician is always in attendance whenever a client is in the gym area.

Many staff members of Healthcare on Collins regularly enjoy and benefit from their own small group exercise classes in the gym. Our health and fitness are important too!
