Duration: 40 minutes
Class Size: Maximum of 4 participants
1.Initial Evaluation: Physiotherapists begin by assessing your current physical condition, including your strength, flexibility, posture, and any existing injuries or limitations. This evaluation helps them understand your specific needs and tailor the exercises accordingly.
2. Correcting Posture and Alignment
- Proper Alignment: Physiotherapists ensure that your body is properly aligned during exercises. This includes correcting spinal alignment, joint positioning, and weight distribution to prevent undue stress on your body and reduce the risk of injury.
- Posture Correction: Consistent guidance during the class to help maintain proper posture throughout your workout, which is crucial for both effectiveness and safety. For example, in exercises like squats or lunges, proper posture helps you engage the correct muscle groups and avoids strain on the back or knees.
3. Technique and Execution
- Form Adjustment: Our Physiotherapists will provide hands-on adjustments to help you achieve the correct form. They can guide you on the right movement patterns, such as how to execute a plank with the right shoulder and hip alignment or how to perform a deadlift with correct back and hip positioning.
- Range of Motion: They ensure that you are working within a safe range of motion. Overextending or not moving through the full range of motion can lead to injuries or ineffective workouts.
4. Muscle Engagement
- Effective Muscle Activation: Our Physiotherapists will teach you how to activate the right muscles during exercises. For instance, they’ll guide you to engage your core properly during a plank or ensure you’re using your glutes and hamstrings during a deadlift.
- Avoiding Compensation: Our Physiotherapists will help you avoid compensatory movements where other muscles take over the work, which can lead to imbalances and injuries.
5. Progression and Adaptation
- Gradual Progression: Our Physiotherapists will monitor your progress and adjust the difficulty of exercises gradually. This ensures that you’re challenging yourself without overloading your body, reducing the risk of injuries.
- Adaptation to Needs: They adapt exercises based on how your body responds, making modifications if you experience pain or discomfort. For instance, if you have a shoulder issue, they might suggest alternative exercises or adjustments to protect your shoulder while still working the intended muscle group.
6. Education and Awareness
- Instruction and Feedback: Our Physiotherapists will provide clear instructions and real-time feedback on your form, helping you understand the importance of proper technique and how it affects your performance and safety.
- Self-Monitoring Techniques: They teach you how to self-monitor your form and technique when working out on your own, so you can maintain good practices outside of class.
7. Injury Prevention
- Identifying Risk Factors: By analysing your movement patterns and physical condition, our physiotherapists can identify potential risk factors for injury and address them through corrective exercises and modifications.
- Safe Exercise Practices: They emphasize the importance of warm-ups, cool-downs, and proper technique to prevent injuries and ensure that you’re getting the most out of your workouts without putting yourself at risk.
