Strengthening exercises

Rebuild your strength, balance, and confidence after a major illness or accident.


What are strengthening exercise programs?

Strengthening exercises are tailored physiotherapy programs that help you regain strength, balance, and confidence after a period of extended inactivity.

This kind of de-conditioning often follow serious health challenges like:

  • Cancer treatment

  • Long COVID

  • Extended hospital stays (e.g. for cardiac issues or a major accident)

Periods of reduced movement often result in muscle weakness, stiffness, and reduced mobility. To combat this, Richard will build a personalised program that works for you, rebuilding your physical strength and helping you get back to the everyday activities that make you feel like you.

How can strengthening exercises help you?

Whether you’re recovering from illness or a major accident that required an extended period of hospitalisation, strengthening exercises can help you return to the life you love.

Richard works with you to understand:

  • Your medical and exercise history

  • Your goals for mobility, work, or hobbies

  • The lifestyle you’d like to return to

From there, we’ll develop an exercise plan together that helps restore strength, flexibility, and confidence at your own pace in a way that works for you.
