Why do we prescribe you exercises and stretches
At Galleria Podiatry our podiatrists will often prescribe you exercises or stretches to assist in treating muscular or joint injuries.
Helping you to return to your normal activities and sports is our goal and often this needs some assistance with the correct exercises to help rehabilitate your injured site.
Physitrack
Our Podiatrists use a Free App called Physitrack to create customized home exercise programs for our patients, featuring over 18,000 video exercises. This app allows us to program your stretches and exercises, allowing you to have video access to your exercises, sets and repetitions allocated to you, and tracking of your progress. Ultimately, our aim is to improve your recovery time and engagement with your exercise program.
This is often used in conjunction with other therapies such as footwear advice, orthotics, dry needling, shockwave therapy, strapping and joint mobilisation.
We use exercise prescription for injuries such as
- Plantar fasciitis
- Ankle sprain/pain
- Arthritis
- Calf strain
- Achilles tendinitis/Sever’s Condition
- Shin splints
- Stress fractures
- Falls prevention
