Our Physio Strong exercise programs have been designed by our physiotherapy team to meet the varying needs of our patients and clients. From extended rehabilitation following an injury to just helping clients to move more and be healthy, we have a program that is right for everyone. For current patients, getting started in our programs is as easy as chatting to your physiotherapist about which program is right for you and when the best time to get started would be. For new clients, we will be able to help you choose the best program for your goals following your initial assessment.
Previously known as our falls and balance class, this class is aimed to provide a safe and supportive environment for our seniors to exercise.This class incorporates balance, strength, cardiovascular and stability exercises done in a gentle circuit style format. This class is 60 minutes in duration which reduces time pressure on the stations and allows the intensity to be low. But don’t be fooled, this class is not easy, but it is designed to be gentle.
New to Out of the Box Physiotherapy in 2022, Physio Strong Bones has been designed to specifically help those patients concerned about their bone density (osteopenia or osteoporosis) to get the resistance training and loading that they need in a safe and effective way. Done in a circuit format, this class will use time based stations to provide exercise intensity across a range of movements designed to load the body in such a way to assist with bone health. Movements to expect (in some form) will be deadlifts, leg press, squats, push ups.
Running since 2018, our physio strong circuit class provides an opportunity for you to get some exercise safely under the guidance of one of our physiotherapy team. The format for this class is 10 exercise stations with the goal of giving the whole body a workout. Programs for this class are written every 5 weeks to provide variety.
Personalised, bespoke and specific. This program has been designed for those people that need higher level care or supervision or those that would prefer to exercise in a more private environment with a program that has been written exclusively for them. Physio Strong Individual is a great option as an extension to post operative rehabilitation as a personalised and targeted program can be developed. The individual nature of programming on this program also means we can help with any range of conditions such as chronic lower back pain, lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and obesity.

Our exercise programs are taken by our physiotherapists, meaning you are in safe hands with practitioners that know how to appropriately modify exercises and programs so that they are safe and effective for you.

No, not at all. We will help you to get started and do our absolute best to ensure your experience is supportive and comfortable
It is likely that at least one of our exercise options will be appropriate for you but we would need to do an assessment of your condition and function. We want to make sure that you are safe while in our clinic so a screening assessment with one of team will make sure that you are in the right program for where you are at, or what steps are needed to get there.
