Are you an older adult who is suffering from balance and mobility issues and are intimidated by the thought of going to the gym to improve your fitness?

 

Here is how our service can help you?

We refer to functional rehabilitation as a process of working with you towards returning to an optimal level of independence in the activities that are important to you. Every individual is different so is our approach. Through our screening process, the client will identify the areas of functional difficulty in their day to day life and we design a rehabilitation program.

We will assess and meet you where you are in your life and bring you to the next level of health and fitness. You can spend less time stressing and spend more time doing what you actually love in your own home.

Why are our service so different?

We work with our clients at their own home so that they can start their program based on their environment and resources available. Our aim is to provide a goal-orientated rehabilitation program that helps clients and their families to become as independent as possible, as soon as possible. This may focus on one activity at a time or it may be a more comprehensive approach depending on where you are at that point of your life when we see you.

We look into the area of dysfunction and instead of treating what hurts, we treat what is causing the hurt. Usually, the treatment plan includes using positions and activities that closely resemble the activities that we wish to perform.

Often times, the source of back pain lies in the ankles, hips or upper back. By performing tests that require the entire body to turn, bend and rotate in place, we can determine where the movement is and isn’t occurring. After thorough assessment, we will design a functional exercise program to help address your limitations and reduce pain and improve function. This approach will be used for all areas in the body.

Examples of outcome we achieve:

• Prevent new injuries and avoid surgery
• Reduce the frequency of flare-ups and recurrence
• Improve core strength and mobility
• Increase movement awareness
• Increase mobility and flexibility
• Improve posture and build lean muscles
• Develop functional strength and endurance
