Strength in Numbers
Why do so many people avoid regular exercise when the benefits are so hard to ignore? Whether it’s improving your mood, controlling your weight, preventing disease, recovering from injury, or increasing your energy, exercise is just plain good for you. However, many people lack the motivation to be consistent with workouts over time; others find it difficult to build it into their busy schedule; and some just find it too boring.
In order to be successful with any lifestyle change or rehabilitation program, it is important to remove potential barriers; and a great way to overcome these is through group exercise. Group exercise, especially when done in a therapeutic setting, can help make regular exercise a more achievable goal:
Group Exercise is Social
After an injury, whether it be orthopaedic or neurological in nature, it is easy to feel isolated. This can be due to any number of reasons, including limited physical mobility, difficulty participating in activities due to pain, or taking time off of work. In a group exercise setting, you’re surrounded by people who have the same or similar injuries, which allows you to bond with others and share your experiences. This helps expand your social support system, which can be very important for your mental health after an injury.

Having our group rehab sessions now in full swing at Physio Cure – here’s some thoughts as to why group physio can have such a positive impact!
- Connection with other people – Often, when you’ve had an injury or a recovering from surgery, it can be a very lonely time. In a group situation, you can gain positive connections with others, working towards a common goal and helping support each other.
- Amalgamating social and exercise – Sharing an experience with others brings a social context to rehab. This can help increase enjoyment and motivation, key indicators in longer term success and outcomes.
- Context – Everyone has days they may struggle or relapse slightly, but you’re not alone. Sharing stories or experiences with other people helps give context and perspective to your recovery and helps ‘normalise’ things.
- Commitment and motivation – Exercising as part of a group helps you commit to your goals; you are more likely to help support your peers and be motivated to continue.
And if group rehab isn’t your thing, we also offer a one-to-one rehab service so you can be provided with a structured rehab program to go and do in your own time at home or at the gym.
