PATHWAYS

General Health

Your general health is governed largely by the health of your body’s cells. Poor cellular health leads to difficulties with most of the important systems within your body including; cardiovascular, pulmonary, cognitive, musculo-skeletal and endocrine systems.

Quindalup Performance and Recovery is the first business in Australia to firstly, assess your cellular health and secondly, provide a tailored training system called Cell-Gym (German engineered) to improve your cell’s fitness.

After performing an initial assessment (a 5 - 10 minute breathing test), a Cell-Gym training plan will be tailored to your specific test results. Generally, training will involve two sessions of 40 minutes per week where the client will sit quietly and breathe through the Cell-Gym machine.

A re-assessment is performed after one month or 8 sessions of training to demonstrate the improvements in your cellular health.

Weight Control

The success of any weight control program (increase muscle mass or decrease body fat) is your metabolism. Assessing your metabolic rate provides critical information to ensure you are either eating enough calories to gain muscle or burning enough calories to lose weight. Most weight control programs fails because metabolism is never measured and hence most eating plans are doomed to fail.

Metabolism testing performed at Quindalup Performance & Recovery (QPR) is a laboratory standard test and only available in the South West at QPR. Your Metabolic Specialist has 30 years of testing experience with more than 50,000 clients. Using this testing provides accurate information on an individual’s metabolic rate (MR), rate of fat burning (0 - 100%) and oxidative stress causing fatigue/poor energy/shortness of breath.

Following the testing process, the Metabolic Specialist will identify any metabolic issues and provide individual eating/exercise guidelines to resolve these issues. A second test within a fortnight of the first test will quantify changes in the metabolism resulting from improved nutrition and exercise.

Specific Fitness

No two people are the same and as a QPR client, your specific fitness requirements will be addressed. For example, age, experience and type of sport/activity are no barrier with our QPR Exercise Physiologist having years of experience working across most sports.

Your specific exercise program will require a physiological starting point, a well designed plan and motivation. As a QPR client, you can select different types of testing (aerobic, speed, agility, power, muscle strength, flexibility) depending on your chosen activity.

Your exercise program can be performed externally to our 1210 Caves Road facility but our “test, train, review” motto for efficient results encourages clients to return for regular testing and re-programming

The 1210 Caves Road facility specialises in training athletes for speed, power and acceleration.

Exercise Rehabilitation

Preparing and recovering from a joint replacement requires a specific program designed by an Exercise Physiologist. The success of the surgery is largely dependent on the patient’s pre-surgical training and more importantly, their adherence to a well designed exercise schedule.

QPR’s Exercise Physiologist has recently recovered from a joint replacement using specialised exercise equipment that targets the correct muscles without causing undue stress or soreness.

The Isokinetic equipment records your strength, power and speed of every movement to demonstrate progress and ensure safety in the early stages of recovery.

Injury Prevention

While some sports injuries are unavoidable, the majority are preventable if the athlete’s anatomical weaknesses are identified and then eliminated.

For example, an athletes posture and running technique can directly lead to stress-related injuries of the hips, pelvis, lower limbs and feet.

QPR’s resident Biomechanist can perform a Posture, Gait and Sports Technique assessment to identify potential “hot-spots” likely to cause future problems. Different interventions (e.g. remedial exercises, stretching, orthotics, footwear, technical) will then be advised to ensure the risks of future injury are minimised.

For example, our Biomechanist has a long history in the diagnosis and correction of fast bowling injuries having worked with the Western Australian Cricket Association, International Cricket Council, MRF Bowling Academy in India and currently at Wesley College in Perth.

Recovery

Body ache and muscle soreness often accompany hard training and competition. Performing different recovery modalities will remove the ache and soreness quickly to allow the athlete to resume training or competition. Prior to commencing a recovery modality, all clients are requested to perform a HYDRATION TEST to measure fluid levels in the body. This simple process will ensure no-one is de-hydrated before commencing their recovery schedule.

Quindalup Performance and Recovery offers clients many different recovery options including;

• Normotec Compression therapy for arms, hips and legs

• Hypoxic Therapy

• Magnesium Spa Bath

• STEAM Sauna and Cold Plunge

• INFRARED Sauna

• Massage

• Partner Assisted Stretching

• Pulsed EMT

All recovery sessions are personally supervised by QPR staff.

High Performance Training

To achieve results at the highest level, an athlete requires a High Performance program. QPR’s High Performance Specialist has been involved in elite sport at the International and National level for the past 30 years working across many different sports.

QPR has also acquired new European Technologies from Cellgym (first time available in WA) to optimise an athletes training and competition performances. The new IHHT form of training will raise your training levels, improve recovery time and provide a significant edge to compete at the highest levels. Cellgym technology is only available in Western Australia at Quindalup Performance and Recovery.
