Hydrotherapy.

Discover the benefits of water

Benefits of hydrotherapy:

1. Decreased weight-bearing: Buoyancy reduces the effect of gravity and in turn the forces applied to various joints by up to 80%.
2. Heat: A gently heated pool can be surprisingly therapeutic!
3. Increased range of motion: Many patients will find their ability to move greatly increased in the water.
4. Different proprioceptive and balance challenges: Maintaining your balance in the pool is quite different to dry land! These can be useful challenges for rehabilitating various injuries.
5. Different resistance: Walking through water is quite different to walking through air! This resistance, coupled with equipment where relevant, allows strength exercises to be performed for various muscles.

So why not come on in and give it a try?

greater range of movement and better core strength.

Are you:

• Suffering from a sporting injury, back or neck pain?

• Needing to improve your core strength

PhysioFIX Physiotherapy Exercise Sessions and Clinical Pilates is the answer.

At physioFIX Holland Park, we offer individualised group Physiotherapy Exercise sessions that incorporate both Pilates-based strength and mobility work as well as rehabilitation exercises. These sessions are for people of all ages, shapes, sizes and levels of fitness.  We can help you with your neck or lower back pain with the incorporation of both Pilates and physiotherapy rehabilitation-based exercises. Additionally, it is also a great and safe way for both pregnant women and new mums to get back into fitness and movement whilst building confidence and strength. With a strong focus on the core abdominal muscles that support your spine our sessions are designed to increase your strength, improve your posture, give you greater range of movement and keep your body balanced.

You will tone, strengthen and stretch every muscle for a full body workout in a fun, friendly and safe environment. Our experienced and knowledgeable physiotherapists will assess you one on one and guide you through the basics in your own private initial sessions before moving into the group sessions. Whilst the group sessions are made up of a maximum of 5 people, your session will still be tailored specifically for you and will take into account your specific goals! All sessions with a physiotherapist are claimable through private health.

These sessions offer you the same individualised care but as they aren’t run by a physiotherapist will not be claimable through Private Health. Using the information obtained by the physiotherapist our qualified and highly experienced Pilates Instructor will guide you through the range of Pilates exercises to a leaner, stronger and more flexible and mobile you!

We offer a range of Massage Therapy options to suit your needs including Relaxation, Remedial and Pregnancy Massage.

‘Relax, Unwind, Recover’

Relaxation Massage

Our bodies need opportunities to repair themselves and recover in order to perform to their best potential. However, in our modern, fast paced lives we often forget about this. Take some much needed time out to recover from the stresses of daily life, and enjoy the many benefits of a Relaxation Massage at physioFIX Holland Park.

Relaxation Massage is a great way to give your body the special attention it needs to relax and repair itself and when done regularly can help to maintain health and well-being.

What is Relaxation Massage?

Relaxation massage enhances and maintains the normal functioning of the body by soothing soft tissue and encouraging relaxation. A relaxed body that is in optimum condition is better able to ward off the development of injury and illness. Relaxation massage involves long flowing strokes and some gentle but deeper techniques, to increase circulation and relieve tension.

What are the benefits of Relaxation massage?

Relaxation Massage can be beneficial for anyone, engendering a sense of calmness and relaxation. Massage prompts endorphin release, in turn producing a feeling of well-being and decreased stress. Studies indicate that high levels of stress hormones impair the immune system which can lead to ongoing sickness and disease. Other benefits include:

• Generalised stress reduction
• A decrease in muscle tension
• Symptomatic relief of pain related to soft tissue dysfunction
• Improved circulation and stimulation of the lymphatic system
• Reduction of stress hormones
• Improved skin tone
• Reduced anxiety and depression

Remedial Massage

Remedial massage is generally used to address and treat specific soft tissue problems associated with chronic muscular pain, injury rehabilitation, sporting and occupational injuries, RSI and physical and mental fatigue.

Techniques can include trigger point therapy, deep tissue massage, sports massage techniques, mobilisation, myofascial release and stretching.

What is Remedial Massage?

Remedial massage focuses on the soft tissues of the body and can include both the superficial and deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body, through a variety of strokes and deep pressure on the contracted areas, by either following or crossing over the muscle fibres, fascia and tendons.

Remedial massage aims to address the cause of pain or dysfunction, in addition to symptom relief. As such an assessment may be carried out before and after the massage to determine the best course of treatment for individual patients and to monitor the treatment’s effectiveness.

What are the benefits of Remedial Massage?

Some of the benefits of remedial massage include:

• Increased range of movement
• Relief from pain and tightness
• A reduction in muscle tension
• Improved circulation which aids in the removal of toxins
• Stimulation of the lymphatic system
• Relaxation and a reduction in stress

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy massage is a great way to reduce stress and promote general health and well being for the expectant mum. Suitable for any stage of pregnancy provided the pregnancy is low risk. Please note that a written release from your treating doctor is required for high risk pregnancies.

Pregnancy massage can help reduce musculoskeletal pain, improve movement, decrease swelling, improve circulation, promote relaxation and improve sleep. Pregnancy massage is often performed in a side lying position, typically the best position for mum and baby, particularly in the later stages.

All of our Remedial Massage Therapists are fully qualified, insured and registered with the appropriate Massage Therapy associations.

Bookings are available during the week from Monday til Friday with some late appointments offered on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings.

What is the cost involved?

90 Minute Massage $135.00

60 Minute Massage $102.00

30 Minute Massage $76.00

$5 Off for Pension/Concession

Maintaining an active lifestyle is crucial for people of all ages, and this includes individuals in their mature years. Engaging in regular exercise is particularly important for older adults, as it offers a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional benefits. From enhancing strength and flexibility to improving overall well-being, mature-aged exercise plays a vital role in promoting a healthy and fulfilling life.

One of the primary advantages of exercise for mature adults is the preservation and improvement of physical function. As we age, it’s natural for muscle mass and bone density to decrease, and joints may become stiffer. However, incorporating regular physical activity into one’s routine can help mitigate these effects. Strength training exercises, such as lifting weights or using resistance bands, help build muscle strength and slow down muscle loss. Weight-bearing activities, like walking or dancing, promote healthy bones and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Additionally, stretching and flexibility exercises enhance joint mobility and maintain a full range of motion.

Exercise also plays a significant role in managing chronic conditions that may become more prevalent in later life, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and arthritis. Regular physical activity can improve heart health, lower blood pressure, control blood sugar levels, and reduce joint pain. Moreover, exercise contributes to weight management, which is crucial for preventing various health issues and maintaining overall vitality.

Beyond the physical benefits, mature-aged exercise positively impacts mental and emotional well-being. Physical activity stimulates the release of endorphins, the “feel-good” hormones that boost mood and reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Engaging in group exercise classes or activities fosters social connections, which are vital for combating feelings of isolation or loneliness that can sometimes occur in older age. Furthermore, exercise can enhance cognitive function, memory, and overall brain health.

When embarking on an exercise routine as a mature adult, it’s important to consider individual abilities, preferences, and any existing health conditions. Consulting with our qualified exercise specialist physiotherapists, we can provide tailored guidance and ensure safety during physical activity.

Mature-aged exercise group classes, such as yoga or Pilates, help improve flexibility, balance, and core strength. For those looking for a challenge, strength training using free weights or resistance machines can provide significant benefits.

Remember, the key is to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and duration of exercise over time. It’s important to listen to your body and make adjustments as needed. Finding an activity that brings joy and fulfillment will make it easier to stick with an exercise routine in the long term.

In conclusion, mature-aged exercise is a vital component of a healthy and fulfilling life. By incorporating regular physical activity into your routine, older adults can enjoy numerous benefits, including improved physical function, better management of chronic conditions, enhanced mental well-being, and increased social connections. Embracing a varied and enjoyable exercise regimen tailored to individual needs and abilities ensures that mature adults can maintain an active and vibrant lifestyle for years to come.

So what are you waiting for? Join one of our mature aged classes today and improve your well-being for now and the future.
