Exercise & Injury Rehabilitation

Both can help with musculoskeletal injuries, but different practitioners deliver them. Exercise rehabilitation is led by sports therapists and focuses on rebuilding movement, strength and confidence through hands-on treatment and progressive exercise. Registered physiotherapists deliver physiotherapy, which may be more appropriate after surgery, for more complex conditions, or when your health insurer requires it. If you’re unsure which to book, we’ll guide you.

New to Nordic Balance? Start with an initial assessment so we can understand your symptoms, assess the issue and agree on the right treatment plan. For ongoing care, book a 30- or 45-minute follow-up depending on your plan. A reassessment is required if it’s been more than six months since your last visit, or if your injury, symptoms or treatment needs have changed. If you’re using private health insurance, please contact us before booking.

Your first chiropractic assessment usually lasts up to 45 minutes. During that time, your chiropractor will assess your symptoms, movement and relevant medical history, explain their diagnosis, talk you through your treatment options and agree on a clear plan with you. If it’s safe and appropriate, treatment can also begin in that first session.

Your first appointment starts with a full assessment, including your medical history, movement tests and relevant clinical tests to understand your injury and what is limiting you. Treatment may combine hands-on therapy with techniques such as acupuncture, joint mobilisation or manipulation, depending on what you need.

You’ll also leave with a tailored exercise plan that builds on the work done during your appointment, helping you keep progressing between sessions. As your movement and strength improve, your therapist will adapt the programme around what you need to get back to — from everyday activity to full training or sport.
