Part 2- Dave's Journey of Recovery - From Acute Work Injury to Resuming Normal Duties✨
Dave sustained a lower back injury at work and was referred to Tim for acute care and ongoing injury management and rehabilitation by his treating GP.
Initially, Dave was treated with traditional hands-on physiotherapy to assist with relieving his lower back and leg pain.
Dave, being a model patient, followed his GP's recommendations along with Tim's prescribed home exercises in the initial phase of his rehabilitation plan.
Progressing well, Dave began to work with Tim in the gym focusing on restoring full range of motion with dynamic stability.
Tim applied a variety of functional training methods, standing exercises combining upper and lower limb movements incorporating balance and control. Challenging Dave’s core control and flexibility with some stability ball exercises was also included to provide Dave with a comprehensive rehabilitation exercise plan.
Dave has completed his return to work plan, is recovering well and has returned to work and play again!
