    Why is a Rehabilitation Gym Worth Considering?

    The reason rehabilitation is so important post-injury is that some injuries can be caused by muscle tightness or weakness, which can lead to body imbalances. These imbalances can in turn lead to poor posture or add extra load or stress to certain areas of the body.

    Our highly trained physiotherapists take a holistic approach whereby we will assess your body in your initial treatment with us, diagnose body imbalances and develop a strengthening programme that can be done both in our gym and at home. Strengthening work is vital in the rehabilitation of all injuries and can help to minimise the risk of injury re-occurrence.

    Our Auckland Rehabilitation Gym

    We use a combination of Pilates, free weights, Keiser strength machines, body weight and resistance bands to strengthen your core muscles as well as your entire body.

    Our Keiser strength machines are ideally suited to the rehabilitation of injuries for our patients. The machines use air resistance technology which allows a gradual increase in resistance to your muscles and joints and zero shock loading to these areas to prevent extra stress on the tissues that are already in repair after injury. We use our rehabilitation gym with a wide variety of patient concerns including pre and post operative rehab, sprains and strains, over use injuries and general body conditioning to keep people functioning at their best.

    Combining this equipment with a tailored strengthening programme helps our patients reduce pain, so they can get back to enjoying doing what they love. Come and see us to restore your movement and enhance your health and wellbeing.

    Onsite Rehabilitation Gym FAQs

    1Are onsite gym sessions supervised, or do I use the equipment by myself?
    Your physiotherapist guides every session one-on-one, demonstrating correct technique on the equipment and adjusting your programme as you improve.
    2If my injury is already an ACC claim, does that cover my onsite gym sessions too?
    Usually, yes; once ACC has accepted your claim, gym-based rehab prescribed as part of your treatment plan is typically included alongside your regular physio appointments. Your physiotherapist will confirm what's covered under your specific claim, or you can check directly with ACC or your case manager.
    3Is the onsite gym only for sports injuries, or can I use it after surgery too?
    The onsite gym supports a wide range of needs, including pre and post-operative rehabilitation, sprains and strains, overuse injuries and general conditioning. Your programme is built around your own recovery goals, not a single injury type.
    4How does an onsite gym session fit in with Pilates or exercises I do at home?
    Many patients combine gym-based strengthening with Pilates and a home exercise programme for a well-rounded mix of guided and independent work. Your physiotherapist designs each part to support the others as your recovery progresses.
    5Do I need to already be injured to use the onsite gym, or is it also for general fitness?
    The gym supports both injury recovery and general strength or wellbeing goals, so it suits patients rebuilding after an injury as well as those wanting to stay strong and reduce the risk of future problems. Many patients also add cold compression therapy rental for extra support at home between sessions.
