Functional Strength Exercises

Improving functional strength can reduce the likelihood of injury and can support your rehabilitation goals.
To aid your recovery and overall health, we have created a short series of exercises to improve functional strength. These can each be completed once a day during every day tasks, such as boiling a kettle. Each exercise video includes adaptations to allow you to find the level of effort appropriate to your individual needs.
