A clinic by the river with a gym attached, because the exercises are the treatment and a leaflet is not.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

BY THE RIVER<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Why there is a gym next to the treatment room.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

When Riverbend opened on the New Farm riverfront in 2011, the founders had a choice between a clinic with a few plinths and a clinic with a gym attached. They chose the gym, on the reasoning that hands-on treatment settles pain but exercise is what actually changes how a joint or a muscle behaves over the months after.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

That is still the model. Three AHPRA-registered physiotherapists work across the clinic and the rehab space, and patients are shown how to use both rather than sent away with a photocopied sheet to work out on their own.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
