Physiotherapy Exercises is a body conditioning routine that may help build flexibility, muscle strength, and endurance in the legs, abdominals, arms, hips, and back. It puts emphasis on spinal and pelvic alignment, breathing, and developing a strong core or center, and improving coordination and balance. Physiotherapy Exercises’ system allows for different exercises to be modified in range of difficulty from beginning to advanced. Intensity can be increased over time as the body conditions and adapts to the exercises.

At Truecare Health, our experienced practitioners provide close supervision in small group classes to ensure your technique is effective to achieve your goals.

Hydrotherapy is a form of treatment that utilises the properties of water to aid movement and strengthening. Through harnessing the effects of buoyancy, turbulence, hydrostatic pressure and a thermo neutral environment, programs can be designed that:

• Decrease excess weight bearing (pool running, strengthening while suffering stress fractures etc).
• Increase blood return through pressure provided by the water (minimising swelling, increasing cardiac output and therefore cardiovascular effects of training).
• Training of balance in an environment that is safe due to the slower movement in the denser medium of water.
• Mobilise stiff joints with assistance from both the warmth of the water to loosen muscles and increased ease of movement using buoyancy.
• Aid post surgical rehabilitation through the ability to commence exercise earlier in an altered gravity environment, decreasing active movement stressors.

At Truecare Health we device an exercise program tailored to your needs to empower you to carry out an independent exercise program effectively to achieve your goals.
