The Body Management Gym at Physiocare offers a new approach to safe and effective exercise. We are not like other gyms. The Body Management Gym’s philosophy was borne out of the need to treat patients via our physiotherapy practice who had sustained injury through inappropriate exercise. In order to avoid this, our experienced Chartered Physiotherapists work closely with all new members to create personalised exercise programmes that are monitored and progressed by our clinical team.
Whatever your age, fitness level or exercise goals, whether retired with arthritic conditions, a teenage long-distance runner with specific training needs, or a new mum looking to get back into shape, our expert team will create a programme that will develop your fitness appropriately in a safe, controlled environment.
The Body Management Gym focuses on one-to-one sessions to ensure that you are exercising appropriately, safely and effectively. Just a few degrees out of position in an exercise can mean the difference between improving or aggravating a condition. That’s why our starter progamme includes an in-depth assessment with one of our physiotherapists and three further one-to-one sessions for all new members.

At Physiocare, exercise therapy is part of a Total Body Management approach. In keeping with this approach, we like to start by health screening new gym members, taking a detailed medical history and assessing any potential risks at your first one-to-one session. We then assess your fitness in a number of ways, looking at mobility, flexibility, strength and aerobic endurance, always taking account of any medical conditions. From this baseline assessment, your physiotherapist will then develop a programme and monitor your progress over the next three sessions.
Once your physiotherapist is confident that you have developed good technique in your starter programme, you are able to exercise independently at the Body Management Gym. One of our physiotherapists will always be available at the gym to answer any queries you may have, ensuring that you have access to expert advice at all times. Further one-to-one sessions are available according to your personal needs and we recommend that all members aim to repeat assessments regularly to monitor progress.
