Principles of Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is all about ensuring injuries and symptoms don’t return. Its simply not just about exercise or strength, rather more about mobility, stability and proper function. Each of these pillars of rehabilitation are required in exercise and daily activities, maximizing efficiently and reducing the risk of injuring yourself whilst training.
The rehabilitation assessments and therapies we provide at Live Active – Annandale incorporate the latest understanding in neuroplasticity (the ability for the body to change and adapt given specific training) and sensory-motor integration. When we combine movement, balance and stability into a progressive stage-by-stage plan, we increase the your awareness and hence control, reducing the likelihood of recurrent injuries.
All this simply means is – look forward to having a properly functioning body, that is pain free and ready to live active!
