Exercise and Rehabilitation Sessions
At the Newcastle Sports Injury Clinic we offer a range of services led by our team of physiotherapists to tackle musculoskeletal and spinal problems. If there is a specific need within your company this may be addressed in a group forum. Our rehabilitation sessions combine the specialist knowledge and advice of a fully trained and chartered physiotherapist with the benefits of targeted exercises and education. Sessions aim not only to restore the individuals to full function as quickly as possible but also to educate the participants in how to prevent further problems in the future.
We currently run a back class that combines rehabilitation with education to provide a cost effective method of returning staff to work and preventing future problems. Our current back class runs once a week for five weeks. Participants are taken through principles of posture, manual handling and management of back pain. Participants are then shown gentle exercises to help with posture, flexibility and strength. As part of the education sessions they are also advised on management of problems if symptoms recur in the future which often enables people to remain at work. Our therapists also have experience in running lower limb and shoulder rehabilitation classes.
We have found that 88% of all people participating in the back class have found the class “very useful” in learning to manage their problems.
If a need is identified for specific work related problems a programme can easily be set up to address these needs.
