Traditional and Modern gym Equipment: A Dynamic Combination
At Lane Cove, we use a broad range of equipment to offer the best possible care to our patients. Our approach is a seamless blend of conventional tools and advanced technology, tailored to meet everyone’s unique needs. From ramps for stroke patients relearning to walk, to resistance bands for strengthening weakened muscles, we have a wide array of tools at our disposal.
Our arsenal includes gym equipment such as stationary bicycles and treadmills to help patients regain strength in their legs and regain confidence in their movements.
Some of the most common tools we use include:
Exercise Balls
Exercise balls are a staple in both gyms and physiotherapy clinics. They are versatile tools that can be used for a variety of exercises to improve balance and core strength.
Resistance Bands
Resistance bands are another common sight in both gyms and physiotherapy clinics. They are used for resistance training to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility.
Treadmills and Exercise Bikes
Cardiovascular equipment like treadmills and exercise bikes are commonly used in physiotherapy for improving cardiovascular fitness and endurance.
Weights
Handheld weights or weight machines are used for strengthening exercises. They are an essential part of any gym and are equally important in physiotherapy.
Mats
Exercise mats are used for a variety of ground-based exercises and stretches. They provide a comfortable and safe surface for patients to perform their exercises.
Foam Rollers
Foam rollers are used for self-massage to release muscle tightness or trigger points. They are a common sight in both gyms and physiotherapy clinics.
Stability Discs and Bosu Balls
These help improve balance and proprioception (body position awareness). They are used in both gym workouts and physiotherapy sessions.
Hydrotherapy
While not a piece of equipment per se, hydrotherapy is a key aspect of physiotherapy that uses the physical properties of water for therapeutic purposes. It aids in relieving pain, improving circulation, and promoting relaxation.
And there you have it – a sneak peek into the world of physiotherapy equipment we have here at Lane Cove Physiotherapy.
