Clinical Rehabilitation at bounceREHAB


Clinical Rehabilitation classes at bounceREHAB are a physio-led small-group session designed to help people who are moderately injured and/or need pre or post surgical rehabilitation. Patients will work through an individualised program designed in consultation with a bounceREHAB physiotherapist prior to commencement. Think of it as a modern, dynamic and cost effective outpatients rehab class.


We use exercise based treatment to manage a plethora of common, chronic or complex conditions in a safe and evidence based practice.

What should I expect?


These classes are much slower than any of our other exercise classes. You are expected to need closer physiotherapy assistance to guide you through your individualised program.


It is important to manage any potential day to day changes in your symptoms or function. You will work through your pre-determined individualised program with a rotating physiotherapist who will monitor and adjust your management plan when required.

Common conditions that would need to undertake Clinical Rehab at bounceREHAB:

  • Pre/post-natal conditioning and rehabilitation

  • Total knee replacement rehabilitation

  • Total hip replacement rehabilitation

  • Chronic pain management

  • Complex motor vehicle accident rehabilitation

  • Cancer related pain and injury management and rehabilitation

  • Lower back pain rehabilitation

  • Spinal surgery rehabilitation

  • Postural dysfunction

  • Radiculopathy

  • Tendinopathy

  • Persistent knee pain

  • Shoulder reconstruction and rotator cuff repair rehabilitation

  • Elite athlete conditioning

  • Sports injury rehabilitation and conditioning
