Exercise prescription forms a major part of physiotherapy and is proven to enhance recovery and rehabilitation of the client. A unique, research based prescription can also increase motivation and adherence to exercise thus making goals easier to achieve.
Following consultation, assessment and treatment in the clinic, sports ground, gym or at home, Vikki will design and prescribe a rehabilitation programme for each client and forward this via email. This programme will be constructed based on the clinical findings and diagnosis of the particular type of injury and will allow each client to undertake the exercises at home, work or at the gym
A personal program of strength and conditioning will allow you to get the most from your performance for your chosen activity. At DPSP, strength and conditioning programmes are individually designed to increase strength, speed and power. Aerobic, resistance and weight lifting plans are put in place to develop you into a top level performer. Mobility, flexibility and recovery plans are also put in place with weekly individual monitoring sessions
Your current athletic condition can be assessed using the functional movement testing screening tool. This screen looks at your physical health, athletic condition and movement capacity. FMT identifies faulty movement patterns due to weak or tightened muscle or co-ordination issues. These faulty movement patterns over time cause mechanical stress resulting in injury.
Using FMT, DPSP aims to evaluate you at rest (posture) and while you move (FMT). Based on these findings, DPSP will determine your overall condition and help develop and re-educate your movement patterns to make you move as efficiently and powerful as possible thus preventing injury
