Acute Injury Treatment & Rehabilitation Programmes
Experiencing pain, limited movement, or reduced strength? We’ll assess what’s going on and put together a clear, practical rehabilitation plan to get you moving again – and keep you moving.
Our initial appointments are 45 minutes, giving us time to properly understand your injury and goals. Follow-up sessions are 30 minutes.
Pre and Post-operative Rehabilitation
In some circumstances surgery may be the best pathway for your injury or continuing concern. Depending on the severity, acute or elective, it could be a number of months before your surgical date. This lead in time, can be used to improve post-operative outcomes by working with the team at Active Health. Some pre-operative goals and considerations may include; addressing compensations and pain from “favouring” your injury, improving your cardio-vascular fitness and strengthening adjacent muscles in preparation for time off to rest and recover. In some cases simple strapping, bracing or direction on footwear can be used to good effect, in order to offer a greater degree of comfort prior to surgery.
Post-operative rehabilitation is very important and often advised by your surgeon in order to provide better long-term outcomes. The key to this is a graduated and guided rehabilitation plan. This should include functional movements and exercises specific to you and your daily home activities, work requirements and sporting endeavors. Active Health’s clinicians can help develop an individualised and specific rehabilitation plan to help get you back out doing what you love.
Muscle Balance Assessments
Returning to sport after time off? Starting a new training programme? Managing multiple injuries at once?
A muscle balance assessment gives you a clear picture of your current strength and flexibility, so we can identify any gaps and guide you toward your goals with less injury risk. Plans can be tailored for the gym, home exercise, or your chosen sport.
VALD Force Plate Testing Hamilton
Active Health uses VALD ForceDecks technology – industry-leading force plate equipment used by professional sports teams and rehabilitation clinics worldwide.
Force Plate Testing gives us objective, data-driven insight into your movement, strength, and how your body loads and performs. This takes the guesswork out of rehabilitation and return-to-sport decisions.
It’s particularly useful for:
- Return-to-sport clearance after injury
- Identifying strength asymmetries between limbs
- Tracking progress through rehabilitation
- Pre-season performance benchmarking
Force Plate Testing is available as a standalone appointment. Learn more about Force Plate Testing at Active Health.
