Essentials of Strength and Conditioning
Is your body keeping up with your life? Keilor Road Physiotherapy’s Strength and Conditioning Studio offers specialist coaching to enhance your rehabilitation or performance.
We all know life demands a lot from us physically – no matter what we do. Whether it’s going for a run, playing footy, or picking up the grandkids off the floor, we are all physically active. Being prepared for the demands of these tasks is essential for minimizing the risk of injury.

Strength and Conditioning relates to the maintenance and development of movement qualities. Keilor Road Physiotherapy Strength and Conditioning specializes in rehabilitation and enhancing performance – not only following injury, but maximizing day to day activities. It encompasses strength – the ability to move a heavy force; power – the ability to move something heavy quickly; speed – the ability to move quickly; aerobic capacity – the ability to generate energy using oxygen; all of these are qualities that determine our ability to perform well in the things we love.
This includes improving sprint speed and acceleration, jump height, decreased falls risk, decreased pain, improved bony density and ultimately, an increased quality of life. Here at Keilor Road Physiotherapy, our practitioners utilize strength and conditioning principles in all of our rehabilitation programs – from the exercise choices we make, the resistance, load and intensity exercise is prescribed at, the speed at which exercises are performed, even how we plan back-to-back sessions on consecutive days.
