Week 1 Clinical Rehabilitation workshop

Equipment circuit groups of two or three, go through as many exercises as you can to get a feel for
the exercises, how they are performed and the type of instructions you would need to give a patient
3 duradiscs, 1 swiss ball, 7 sets of theraband (2 with handles)
1. Duradisc Station 1
Core see if you can complete each of these for 15 secs, with 10 sec rest. If you can do them
easily, try closing the eyes or raising the arms to increase the challenge

2. Duradisc Station 2 - abs

With the prone/side bridge, try kneeling first then progressing to full plank. If able to, can try
using one hand only on the disc.
Start sit and balance with arms crossed and knees bent, before slowly extending arms and legs
