Have you discovered the benefits of personal training with a Physiotherapist?
Not exercising at the moment and not sure where to start?
Do you feel you lack the confidence or co-ordination to participate in a group class?
You are in the right place! Exercise is for everyone - even if you haven’t exercised for many years. Often the most deconditioned people see the fastest results from a well-designed programme. Hand over the hard work of figuring it out yourself through trial and error, and let an expert make it easy for you!
Working with a strength & conditioning (S&C) physiotherapist who brings together medical knowledge with exercise prescription expertise offers several unique benefits over standard personal training.
Our Top 5 Reasons to exercise with a Physio:
1. Identifying your current strength and flexibility levels – evidence based assessments of movement patterns, posture and alignment.
In order to design a good programme, we need to know how your body is performing. We use objective measurements such as Output Sports monitoring software to identify muscle imbalances amongst a myriad of other tests. Feel like a professional athlete using the same software as Leinster Rugby players to test, monitor and measure your movements and workouts under our care. We can prove our training works when you see your performance stats and strength gains in our Output Sports system.
2. Customised, Safe and Challenging Workouts: S&C Physiotherapists such as our own Kaitlyn Casper, design personalised exercise programmes tailored to your specific needs, ensuring safe and effective movements, especially if you have conditions like osteoporosis, arthritis, or past injuries. Through the study of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and pathophysiology, physiotherapists can adapt exercises for all types of back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain etc.
3. Injury Prevention and Recovery: Physiotherapists focus on proper technique, posture, and muscle balance, which can prevent new injuries and accelerate recovery from existing ones. Movement analysis is a key skill of a S&C physiotherapist, and we help our clients and personal trainers by isolating small movement adaptations that will bring huge benefits to squats, deadlifts and Olympic lifts. This can be done at any level – making changes to your start position in a biceps curl or a wall squat in an older adult can be the difference in a painfree successful workout.
4. Value for Money. Training with a physio expert in strength & conditioning will give you the most effective results in the shortest time.
