Muscoskeletal pain (e.g. )

Exercise based rehabilitation is effective for the prevention, management and treatment of many musculoskeletal conditions. Clinical guidelines recommend its use for conditions of the joints (arthritis), bone health (osteoporosis), and for muscular pain and injury. Structured exercise is also included in care guidelines for persistent pain. Specific details of these interventions will depend on the condition, mechanism of injury, symptom onset, pain severity and irritability, impact on daily activities, goals and objectives.

Physical activity is perhaps the most powerful modifiable lifestyle factor that we can influence in order to improve our functional capacity as we age. Frailty is characterised by a loss of muscle strength, poor balance, decreased gait speed, daily functional problems, increased falls risk and ultimately, a loss of independence. The good news is, it’s never too late to start! Physical activity and specific exercise interventions are effective in not only slowing, but also reversing these components of frailty, leading to improved quality of life.
Chronic Disease
& Neurological Conditions

Chronic lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, include physical activity and active interventions as part of their management and treatment guidelines. A combination of resistance exercise and cardiovascular activity is recommended due to their positive influence on factors including vascular health, cell function, glucose control, weight control, insulin sensitivity, and systemic inflammation. Research demonstrates that exercise offers anti-tumour effects, can enhance cancer treatments, and combat treatment related side effects’.

“The team at Vitruvian worked wonders on me after my total hip replacement, getting me back to a place where I am stronger than I have been for years, feeling really fit and I can’t actually now tell which side was operated on. They are amazing and it was fun too! I now confidently refer patients having professionally and personally seen what they do”
