How many 1:1 therapeutic exercise sessions will I need with my physio before I can do a class?
Your physio will need a few 1:1 sessions to assess your areas of strength or weakness. This will assist them in teaching you how to properly activate your core muscles.
They will then need time to design and teach you your specific programme in the gym. How long this takes is usually anywhere up to 4 individual sessions. Timing may vary but this will always be at the discretion of the physiotherapist.
We aim to ensure you are safe and ready to enter into any exercise regime. Whether you are working out independently in our gym or one of our classes, readiness is key.
To claim therapeutic exercise on your health insurance, it is a requirement that you undergo a 1:1 physiotherapy assessment. You will also be required to be reassessed from time to time. This enables us to modify and update your programme in line with your injury or movement dysfunction.
