CONDITIONS WE TREAT
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE (CVD)
UNDERSTANDING CVD
CVD includes heart and blood vessel disorders like coronary artery disease and hypertension. It’s a leading cause of mortality and often results from lifestyle and genetic factors.
OUR APPROACH
We design targeted exercise programs to improve cardiovascular health and manage CVD symptoms and risk factors.
BENEFITS
• Heart Health: Strengthens the heart muscle.
• Blood Pressure: Lowers high blood pressure.
• Weight Management: Helps maintain a healthy weight.
• Cholesterol Levels: Improves cholesterol profiles.
• Blood Sugar Control: Enhances insulin sensitivity.
• Overall Well-being: Reduces stress and promotes mental health.
SERVICES
• Cardiac rehabilitation
• Risk factor management
• Home exercise programs
• Monitoring and support
• Educational workshops
CANCER
UNDERSTANDING CANCER
Cancer involves the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation can be physically demanding and result in significant side effects.
OUR APPROACH
At Functional Rehabilitation, we create personalised exercise programs for cancer patients to enhance recovery and overall well-being.
BENEFITS

• Fatigue Management: Reduces cancer-related fatigue.
• Mental Health: Alleviates depression and anxiety.
• Enhanced Recovery: Speeds up recovery post-treatment.
• Recurrence Prevention: May reduce the risk of recurrence.
SERVICES
• Individualised exercise plans
• Supervised sessions
• Home exercise programs
• Group classes
• Nutritional advice
METABOLIC CONDITIONS
UNDERSTANDING METABOLIC
• Diabetes: A condition characteriSed by high blood sugar levels due to insulin resistance or deficiency.
• Metabolic Syndrome: A cluster of conditions including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, abnormal cholesterol levels.
• Obesity: Excess body fat that increases the risk of health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension.
• Dyslipidemia: Abnormal levels of lipids in the blood, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Metabolic conditions often involve complex interactions between genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. They can lead to serious health complications if not managed effectively. Common metabolic conditions include:
BENEFITS OF OUR SERVICES
• Improved Blood Sugar Control
• Weight Management
• Enhanced Cardiovascular Health
• Boosted Metabolism
• Better Mental Health
NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS
UNDERSTANDING NEUROLOGICAL
• Parkinson’s Disease: A progressive disorder that affects movement, causing tremors, stiffness, and balance issues.
• Multiple Sclerosis (MS): An autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, leading to muscle weakness, coordination problems, and fatigue.
• Stroke: A condition where blood flow to the brain is interrupted, resulting in motor and cognitive impairments
• Peripheral Neuropathy: Damage to the peripheral nerves causing weakness, numbness, and pain, usually in the hands and feet.
Neurological conditions affect the nervous system, impacting movement, coordination, strength, and overall quality of life. Common neurological conditions we treat include:
BENEFITS OF OUR SERVICES
• Improved Mobility and Balance: Regular exercise can enhance your ability to move and maintain balance, reducing the risk of falls and improving daily function.
• Increased Strength and Endurance: Strength training helps combat muscle weakness and fatigue, common in many neurological conditions.
• Enhanced Coordination: Exercise can improve coordination and fine motor skills, aiding in the performance of everyday tasks.
• Better Mental Health: Physical activity positively affects mood, reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety often associated with neurological conditions.
• Slowed Disease Progression: Regular, targeted exercise can slow the progression of neurological diseases, maintaining function and independence longer.
• Improved Quality of Life: By addressing physical limitations and enhancing overall health, our programs help you lead a more active and fulfilling life.
MUSCULOSKELETAL CONDITIONS
UNDERSTANDING MUSCULOSKELETAL
• Arthritis: Inflammation of the joints, causing pain, swelling, and reduced motion.
• Chronic Back Pain: Persistent pain in the back that can be due to various causes, including disc problems, muscle strain, and structural issues.
• Osteoporosis: A condition characterized by weakened bones, increasing the risk of fractures.
• Sports Injuries: Injuries resulting from physical activities, including sprains, strains, and fractures.
Musculoskeletal conditions affect the bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints, often leading to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. Common musculoskeletal conditions we treat include:
BENEFITS OF OUR SERVICES
• Reduced Pain and Inflammation: Regular, targeted exercise can help reduce pain and inflammation associated with conditions like arthritis and chronic back pain.
• Improved Strength and Flexibility: Strengthening and stretching exercises improve muscle strength and joint flexibility, enhancing overall function and mobility.
• Increased Bone Density: Weight-bearing exercises are beneficial for conditions like osteoporosis, helping increase bone density and reduce the risk of fractures.
• Rapid Injury Recovery: Facilitating quicker recovery from sports injuries, restoring function, preventing future injuries through improved strength and technique.
• Better Posture and Balance: Exercise can improve posture and balance, reducing the risk of falls and related injuries.
