Bridging the Gap between Health Care and Fitness

The definition of post rehab services is as follows: “the development and implementation of fitness and conditioning services for clients with special population and post rehab disorders”. Post rehab does not purport to provide any aspect of medical treatment for a client’s condition. The post rehab program may provide the following services:

Fitness Assessments
Strength Training
Flexibility Training
Cardiovascular Training
Functional Conditioning
Weight Reduction
Spinal Stabilization Training
Hypertension/Diabetes Training


These nine activities or services make up the post rehab “scope of practice”. Our goal is to take over where your doctor or therapists left your treatment. We will work closely with them establishing the appropriate protocol and keeping them well informed during your entire post rehab sessions. Some of the conditions we work with are:

- Total Knee Replacement
- Diabetes
- Lumbar Disc Herniation/Strain
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Total Hip Replacement
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Patello-Femoral Syndrome
- Osteoarthritis
- Knee Meniscus Tears
- ACL Rupture/Reconstruction
- Hypertension
- Shoulder Impingement
- Rotator Cuff Tears
- Fibromyalgia
- Achilles Tendon Rupture
- Cerebrovascular Accident
- Cervical Strain
