Regular physical activity is well known to
help prevent heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure. It also reduces the risk of developing
Type II diabetes.
Exercise plays an increasingly important role in weight management and overall fitness for people of all ages. The Dietary Guidelines emphasises the importance of physical activity for both weight control and health. Weight maintenance rather than weight loss should be the primary focus.
Here at Pam Kaur's Centre, we have a fully
equipped private gymnasium
Remember that this training is provided by a physiotherapist who ensures that you are maximising your training and performing the exercises safely!
Our private, fully equipped gym is open to the public for casual use. The gym equipment we have on site allows for a total body workout. It includes: - Multi gym (seated leg press, pec fly, lats pulldown, leg extension, leg curl, mid row, upright row) - Free weights (bar and dumbbells) - Treadmill - Stationary bike - Crunch bench - Trampoline - Swiss balls - Matwork
The gym also has a TV/DVD and stereo installed for your personal use. With no double bookings taken and being out of the view of the public, you can be assured absolute privacy during your workout.
Visits are charged at $10 per 45 minute session. A booking is required prior to attendance. Please contact us if you would like to subscribe to a longer term membership.
We understand that not everyone is time-rich or able to spend time travelling to a gym or other facility on a daily basis to exercise. We also realise that there are people with home gyms who would much rather workout at home than spend money on gym memberships.
We are able to cater to your needs and devise a home exercise program for you. These programs are individualised to your fitness level and we consider your ability to access specific exercise equipment. The programs cover all aspects of fitness training including, strength, flexibility and aerobic activities.
Examples of people we cater to include (but is not limited to): - Pregnant mums who are looking to keep fit before and after birth - Busy professionals or business owners who lack the time to visit a gym - People with home gyms who prefer to work out at home - Frail or elderly people who are unable to get out of their homes - Paraplegics, hemiplegics or quadraplegics who find it hard to travel.
We are also able to supply any equipment you may require to be able to start exercising, including dumbbells, swiss balls, treadmills, stationary bikes and lots more.
Planning an exercise program should be based on personal goals as well as on individual capabilities. The most important element is to think long-term and make exercise a permanent part of your life. Contact us to discuss your needs.
For physiotherapy treatment to be highly effective, the prescription of specific exercises aimed at speeding your recovery is essential. These exercises are generally performed at home between your treatment sessions. They allow for your soft tissues to regain strength and flexibility and prevent recurrence of the injury.
Other types of exercises prescribed include (but is not limited to): - To promote flexibility of joints, eg. for people with arthritis - Posture correction, eg. for neck or back pain - Strengthening for injury prevention/recurrence, eg. sprained ankles - Post-operative rehabilitation, eg. hip or knee replacements or reconstructions, shoulder operations - Strength training for people who have suffered strokes - Strength training, eg. for the prevention of fractures or breaks with osteoporosis
Our physiotherapists prescribe safe and specific exercises to cater to your condition and to promote effective self-management practices that help you get on with your lives.
