Stretches and Exercises
Movement Is Your Medicine
At ACE Physio Centre, we believe the most powerful tool for your recovery is you. While our hands-on manual therapy can provide immediate pain relief and restore mobility, it is your personalised exercise and stretching program that creates lasting change and prevents your problem from returning.
This “hands-on, hands-off” approach is the core of our philosophy. We get you moving, and then we teach you how to move well—so your results last.
What Is a Physiotherapy Exercise Program?
This is not a generic, one-size-fits-all workout. A physiotherapy exercise program is a carefully designed set of movements prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional to address the exact issues identified during your assessment.
Your program is highly targeted and focuses on:
Stretching specific muscles that are too tight
Strengthening muscles that are weak or inhibited
Restoring normal movement patterns and body awareness (proprioception)
Why Choose ACE Physio Centre for Your Exercise Program?
There is a significant difference between a generic exercise sheet and a physiotherapy-led rehabilitation program.
Expert Diagnosis First
We don’t guess. Every exercise we prescribe is based on a thorough assessment and a precise diagnosis of the root cause of your pain.
One-on-One Supervision
Technique matters. During your dedicated sessions, we ensure every movement is performed correctly. Poor form can slow recovery or worsen symptoms—and we make sure that doesn’t happen.
Personalised & Progressive Planning
Your program evolves as you improve. Exercises are modified and progressed at every stage to ensure safe, effective, and consistent results.
Integrated Treatment Approach
We use hands-on manual therapy to unlock stiff joints, then immediately reinforce that movement with targeted strengthening. This combination delivers faster and longer-lasting outcomes.
The Role of Strengthening Exercises
Pain and injury are often caused by underlying weakness or muscular imbalance. When the right muscles—such as your deep core, glutes, or rotator cuff—aren’t doing their job, other muscles overcompensate, leading to strain and discomfort.
Our strengthening programs are designed to:
Create Stability: Build strength in deep muscles that support your joints and spine
Correct Imbalances: Activate weak muscles so overworked muscles can relax
Improve Posture: Develop endurance to maintain healthy posture throughout your day
Prevent Re-Injury: A strong, balanced body is more resilient and less prone to future injuries
Your Questions Answered
How long does the treatment last?
The goal of your exercise program is to create permanent, positive change. The exercises we teach you are tools for life. By incorporating them into your routine, you can maintain strength, flexibility, and movement quality long after your physiotherapy sessions end.
How many sessions will I need?
Exercises and stretches are not a separate service—they are an essential part of every physiotherapy appointment. Our aim is not to keep you dependent on the clinic, but to empower you. We use one-on-one sessions to teach perfect technique, then progress your program until you are confident continuing independently at home or in the gym.
Does the treatment hurt?
No. This is a common concern, and the answer is simple—we work with your body, not against it. Exercises are carefully selected to challenge you safely, without causing pain or aggravation.
