7.8 You acknowledge that the programs in this site are not designed to be a replacement of seeing a Physiotherapist. We strongly endorse that you seek the services of a qualified and registered Physiotherapist for hands-on treatment through the course of your program, especially during the extended surgical and injury rehabilitation programs. At the start of some stages in programs it is stated that we highly recommended you to 'Check-in' by making an appointment with your local Physio to get re-assessment and for them to monitor the progress of your rehabilitation as well as help you perfect and correct the exercises that you are doing in the program. This is to help you keep on track and get the maximum benefit and results out of the rehab program and the best possible outcome.
7.9 You acknowledge that the week exercise prescriptions in each program have been set as a guideline for a recovery time-frame, however some people may be slower in their rehabilitation due to many factors and in some cases you may need to stay on a set week for two or three weeks instead of one, as you are not expected to always complete a 'week' in 7 days. It is also not advised to push yourself or progress before you are capable and you are not allowed to move onto the next week until you have completed the prescribed volume of exercises in that week.
7.10 You acknowledge that at the beginning of each program stage you are expected to pass the pre-requisites in order to continue onto the next stage. These goals and guidelines are set and designed to help make sure you don't progress into a more difficult stage or series of exercises until you have certain range of movement requirements, can perform prior exercises correctly, adequately and enough volume as well as setting a benchmark for progression and goals. It helps ensure that all the exercises are completed without 'skipping' a workout or certain key exercises. It also aids in the prevention of pain as well as re-injury and gives you a correct level and speed of rehabilitation during each stage.
7.11 You acknowledge that when you view exercise in the library or part of a rehab program you may see that the exercises have progression (and regression) levels. This allows you to look at a more difficult or less difficult level of the same exercise to allow progression within the exercise. It is advised that you can only progress an exercise level if you can safely, and effectively complete the exercise PRIOR to that. For example, if in a program week you you are to do a Level 2 exercise, you must be competent and pain free with that exercise and be able to complete the required sets and repetitions (volume) in that week before progressing that exercise to a Level 3. It is not advised to jump ahead by 2 levels, nor attempt any exercise that is outside the set program of exercises given. At the start of each stage you are recommended to 'Check-in' by making an appointment with your local Physio to get assess and monitor the progress of your rehabilitation as well as help you perfect and correct the exercises that you are doing in the program. This will help you keep on track and get the maximum benefit and results out of the rehab program.
7.12 You acknowledge that the use of the exercise library and the video library is not designed to replace the use of a program. The access the the exercise and video libraries is meant for you to have detailed and comprehensive exercise instructions for individual specific exercises, not to replace the structure of one of the set programs. We do not endorse the practice of creating your own exercise program to aid injuries, pain or musculo-skeletal conditions using our exercise and video libraries. We do not accept any liability for pain or injury caused by you doing so. The libraries are there for you to maintain access to certain exercises that you have learnt in a specific program after the access period to the program, and/or to use if you have been prescribed those exercises in a program set by your own Physiotherapist or medical practitioner, or for use by a Allied Health professional or medical practitioner for research and professional development.
