Injury Prevention Programs
Injuries to the body can have a big impact on overall health and wellbeing. They can stop us from doing the things in life that bring us meaning, purpose and joy. Injuries can cause loss in motivation and concentration, low mood, frustration and pain and with some conditions, it can be a challenging road to recovery.
The biggest risk factor for sustaining any injury, is if you’ve already experienced the injury in the first place. That’s right, if you’ve already twisted an ankle, you’re more likely to twist it again! Find out why you have repeat injuries here.
With this knowledge, we can assess imbalances of mobility, strength, control, function and load to tailor a program that is specific to your injury and sport/activity. These exercise programs are delivered to you via an easy-to-use mobile app, so you won’t need to remember all the specifics!
