Getting back into exercise after an injury can feel overwhelming – especially when you’re unsure what movements are safe or if you’re at risk of reinjury.
But the right type of exercise, at the right time, is one of the most important parts of a healthy recovery.
At Pro Exercise SA, our Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) are experts in helping people safely return to activity after injury, surgery, or a flare-up of a chronic condition. Whether you’re recovering from a sprain, joint surgery, or managing something ongoing like osteoarthritis or lower back pain, our team will work with you to build a personalised, evidence-based plan.
Why a gradual return matters
Jumping back into your usual workouts too quickly – or skipping rehabilitation altogether – can delay healing or lead to reinjury. A properly guided program helps you rebuild strength, restore mobility, and regain confidence without overloading your body.
What recovery exercise might include:
- Gentle range-of-motion movements in early stages
- Progressive strength and balance training
- Pain management strategies through guided movement
- Cardiovascular fitness adapted to your current capacity
You don’t need to wait until you’re completely pain-free to begin moving again. In fact, early and appropriate exercise can often improve outcomes and speed up your recovery. Our Exercise Physiologists will work with you to understand your injury, goals, and lifestyle – then tailor a plan that supports your safe return to regular activity.
Recover with confidence.
