Personalised Strength Building to Support Rehabilitation

At Return To Performance in Bendigo, our strength and conditioning program is an integral part of our comprehensive approach to rehabilitation. The program kicks off within the treatment room, emphasising active treatments and ensuring that every individual leaving our clinic has a personalised set of strength exercises. We firmly believe that strength is the cornerstone of rehabilitation, and our active rehab model reflects this commitment.


Our program takes a diverse approach, catering to various needs. From basic exercises for minor discomfort to comprehensive plans for building strength, we prioritise getting people moving and muscles activating. Each program is tailored to the individual's specific needs, considering their unique injury and personal characteristics. Importantly, we take into account how the program will seamlessly fit into their lifestyle, ensuring it is realistic and sustainable.

Overseeing Your Progress

What sets us apart is our unique positioning within a gym, offering a seamless transition from early rehabilitation to continued progress. Unlike many other clinics that may only provide guidance and leave clients to navigate a gym on their own, we have strength and conditioning coaches right within the gym. This allows for face-to-face consultations, helping to ensure a more personalised and effective approach to further rehabilitation and progression.


Notably, Chris holds an ASCA Level One Strength & Conditioning accreditation, a distinction that sets us apart from many other physiotherapy clinics. This accreditation reflects his expertise and commitment to providing a higher standard of care, ensuring that our clients benefit from a level of knowledge not commonly found in the field.


Join us at Return to Performance Physiotherapy for a holistic and personalised strength and conditioning program that goes beyond the ordinary, tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Potential Benefits of Strength Conditioning

You may benefit from strength and conditioning sessions in the following ways:


  • Muscle endurance: Strength conditioning may help enhance muscle strength and endurance, improving overall physical performance and reducing injury risk.
  • Bone health: Resistance training stimulates bone growth, increasing density and potentially preventing conditions like osteoporosis. It can help promote strong, resilient bones and lowers the risk of fractures.
  • Metabolic health: Strength conditioning may boost metabolic efficiency by increasing lean muscle mass. This helps manage weight, reducing the risk of obesity and type two diabetes.
  • Joint flexibility & range of motion: Strength training exercises through a full range of motion can help improve joint flexibility, enhancing overall mobility and lowering the risk of injuries from restricted movement.
  • Injury prevention & rehabilitation: Strength conditioning may prevent injuries by strengthening supporting structures. It's also vital in rehabilitation, aiding recovery by rebuilding strength and restoring function.
