Exercise Physiology
Sporting Wheelies offers a range of therapies designed to improve functional capabilities. Our Accredited Exercise Therapists will work with you to utilise the most appropriate treatments to work towards achieving your goals.
FES Cycle
FES is a validated rehabilitation technique that administers pulses of electrical current to stimulate peripheral nerves (the neurons that connect the spinal cord to the muscles), generating involuntary muscle contractions and patterned muscle activity. FES is non-invasive and applied using adhesive neuro-electrostimulation pads placed over prime mover muscles. When activated, FES achieves patterned movements in the arms/legs and trunk during cycling on the RT-300 bike. Dependent on the individual, benefits can vary, but commonly demonstrate increased blood circulation and prevention of muscle-wasting.
Strength and Fitness Builder
This session is ideal for people who want to improve cardio-respiratory and musculoskeletal fitness, promoting a more active and healthier lifestyle. Fitness Builder can help you meet personal goals involving increased strength, capacity and endurance. This specialised service is delivered by an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and is ideal for participants requiring minimal manual assistance. *Available via Telehealth and Home visits (travel costs apply).
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is used to assist with the rehabilitation of neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary and psychological function of the individual. In some cases it will also assist in maintaining the client’s level of function or prevent deterioration (eg balance and falls prevention) or prevent injury (eg aid in recovery in a preventative sports medicine program).
