What is a custom rehabilitation program?

Custom rehab programs are strengthening and conditioning programs made up of stretches, exercises and other activities tailored to suit your exact injury, age and level of fitness.

We choose specific activities, exercises and stretches to help you recover from a particular injury with the aim of making the injured region stronger, more flexible and more durable.

Our custom programs focus on a long term approach to make sure you not just recover from your current injury but minimise the risk of any recurrence of the injury or ongoing issues.

When do I need a custom rehab program?

A custom rehabilitation program is most often required when you’ve experienced an injury to your feet and/or lower limb region.

Most of the time these injuries will be chronic or sports related, and the recovery process may take some time.

Custom rehab programs may be created to help correct existing behaviours or movements that may be causing you problems or are likely to cause you problems in the future.

What injuries can customised rehab programs help with?

All sorts of injuries maybe treated using a rehabilitation program, including soft tissue injuries, chronic lower limb injuries, or sports related injuries.

Some of the most common injuries our podiatrists put custom rehab plans together for include:

• Achilles tendinosis
• Plantar fasciitis
• Stress fractures
• Muscle tendinopathies
• Post-surgery recovery
• Ankle sprains
• Knee pain
• Hip pain
• Bursitis
• Synovitis
• Tib post dysfunction
• Ankle equinus
• Retrocalcaneal bursitis
• Shin splints/MTSS
• Ankle instability and weakness
