So i've finished my course of Physio in the hospital after my bike related hip breakage and spine breakage, and they've prescribed me a half dozen visits to hospital over two weeks to take part in a structured gym session in the physio department. Think circuit training but specially designed to build the muscles that i've lost over the past months due to my injuries.

Now, has anyone attended something like this before? I'm just wondering what people thought in related to these type of sessions. (Obviously no-one will have done the same as what i'm going to be doing, just looking for some feedback if anyone has done anything similar)

Charz.

They were good for me & for my ankle/leg - bit tame but then it is rehab not a circuit-training beasting at the local gym!

I didn't do any hospital ones but I did some sessions outwith the hospital that were designed for injury recovery... Well worth it.

Yes, did them earlier this year after badly breaking my ankle. Very good, well worth attending. Mine were mostly self-directed with 3 physios present keeping an eye on about 10-15 of us, all with lower limb problems.

Went 3 times/week for 2 months after hyperflexing my medial cruciate ligament - did a brilliant job/can't recommend it highly enough.
