Rehabilitation Gym

The Higher Function Rehabilitation Gym is equipped with Pilates studio equipment including Pilates Reformer, Trapeze Table, Wunda Chair as well as gym-based equipment such as free weights, BOSU, stability discs and foam rollers. We offer independent sessions in our rehab gym based off a personalised program that your physio or exercise physiologist has designed for you.

 

Who is it for?

Rehab gym sessions are for everyone! Whether you are recovering from an injury, wanting to build your core strength, preventing a recurring issue, or preparing for surgery, our equipment can help you build and maintain your strength and mobility. Your results will then flow from being consistent with a program. Our rehab gym is open early and late to ensure you can come during a time of day that suits you.

A tailored rehabilitation program can help you to reduce and manage your pain, improve strength and movement, and increase your function and ability to do the things you enjoy. A rehabilitation program supported by the equipment at Higher Function can be done safely and correctly to ensure appropriate load management for injury rehab.

An Independent Gym Program with Higher Function is so well suited for treating injuries because of how adaptive the equipment it is and how your program can be personally tailored to support your individual movement goals and tolerances.

Your program is adapted at each stage of your rehabilitation within a variety of levels. Pilates based exercises are extremely effective and can be modified according to your abilities and limitations. There is a wide range of gentle exercises progressing to more complex movements to suit your threshold and build you up from there.

We aim to teach and empower you to be responsible for your own rehabilitation, making your body resilient over time to future injury.

Your therapist may likely be working on a day you are booked in for a gym session, so they are often around to check in with you regularly (if needed) to ensure things are progressing well or if you have questions etc.

How does it work?
  1. See a Physio or Exercise Physiologist for an Initial Consultation – Your therapist will then create an exercise program tailored specifically to you, using our Pilates studio equipment
  2. Book 2 x ‘Independent Gym Set Up’ Sessions – These are 60 min, 1-1 sessions with your therapist, to ensure that you understand how to perform the exercises and use the equipment safely and correctly.
  3. Buy an Independent Gym Package (10 sessions)
  4. Book your Independent Gym Sessions! – Bookings are essential. Book a 45min time during our opening hours (view opening hours here). You can book all 10 sessions at once or just book as you go. Book online or call us. Packages have a 12-month expiry.

Initial Consultation and 2 ‘Set Up’ sessions are claimable from most Private Health Insurers. Independent Gym Sessions are not claimable, as they are unsupervised.
