Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation

Active EP’s specialises in exercise rehabilitation for musculoskeletal conditions where pain and dysfunction may be present. Quite often when pain is present the musculoskeletal system responds differently to various stimulus.

Musculoskeletal Conditions:

• Long standing muscle pain/tightness (e.g. neck, shoulders, back)
• Overuse injuries (e.g. stress fracture, tendonitis)
• Postural and movement analysis and correction
• Muscle imbalances
• Pre/Post surgery prehab/rehab
• Osteoporosis
• If manual therapy is only providing temporary relief (we can work closely with your (Osteo, physio, chiro. Etc… to help you achieve the best long term outcome from your treatment)

Why is it important to exercise?

• The musculoskeletal system encompasses all of the physical structures necessary for movement, including the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons. Management and understanding of all these different structures is required to ensure their optimal health and function.

What can Active EP do for you?

• At Active EP, we can expertly assess your musculoskeletal system and analysis your movement pattern to determine strength, weakness, imbalance, compensatory movements, dysfunction, pain triggers etc.
• Most importantly as result of this assessment we can then develop a specific individualised program, tailored to your current needs with the appropriate progressions to help you achieve you goals.
• Your program may include gradual strength training to assist re-educating the body on how to move in a pain free manner and engage the correct muscles during activities of daily living and beyond.
• Through strength and flexibility improvement we can create postural corrections that allow correct positions and movement patterns during exercise and daily activities.
