We believe in an active recovery. It is what the research evidence supports. At Offshore Physiotherapy Torquay, we have developed our own Back Strengthening Program (formerly known as our Clinical Pilates Program). The Back Strengthening program aims to increase both flexibility and strength and is suitable for individuals of all ages and fitness levels.  The program focuses on activation and movement of the body. Muscle groups around the spine, abdomen and pelvic girdle are targeted to address any deficits. The underlying philosophy of our program is to improve an individual’s core strength and flexibility through smooth movement control in a safe environment.

The program starts with an initial assessment which allows the physiotherapist to identify areas of your body that need improvement in terms of strength and flexibility. From there the physiotherapist can develop an individualised program and you will be invited to join one of our Back Strengthening Classes.

We believe to achieve your health and fitness goals you deserve close supervision during our classes at all times. To achieve this, class sizes are limited to four clients and one of our experienced physiotherapists will be present at all times to guide and supervise.

Back Strengthening classes involve the use of Pilates reformers, traps table, weights, gym equipment, fit balls, foam rollers, and theraband exercises.

Classes run in 5 week blocks and many of our participants decide to go on and do more than one block. Health fund rebates are available for each of our Back Strengthening Classes via Hicaps.
