Exercise Therapy at Graceville Physiotherapy

Our team here at Graceville Physiotherapy believe that just about any ailment or problem requires at least one exercise.

Exercise therapy will assist you to recover quickly and help you to stay on track. When recovering from injury it is important to prevent further injury, and exercises will ensure this does not occur. Here are some examples of how exercises can be of benefit.

We love to see a body in balance!

Our clinical exercise team works in a safe environment. Classes are small so we can give 1 on 1 attention. There is always a physiotherapist assessment first in order for us to structure the classes around the individuals involved. Exercises can be modified for most injuries/weaknesses.

Chronic Lower Back Pain – Gentle clinical exercises under the guidance of a physiotherapist enables you to handle day to day activities without pain.
