Why clinical exercise?
Clinical exercise helps many different conditions, post-surgery rehabilitation, sports-related injury, chronic conditions (Lower back pain, Osteoarthritis). The evidence shows that clinical exercise can significantly improve pain and prevent re-injury in the future (Wagemans et al., 2022).
At Back In Motion Clayton our motivated and experienced clinicians will create an individualized program that will guide you through your rehabilitation. In addition, clinical exercise is also recommended even for those without any conditions or injuries, aiding with weight loss, general strengthening or fitness (Bielecki, 2023).
