Exercise Physiology

What is an Exercise Physiologist, and what do they do?

Exercise Physiologists are health professionals who use exercise and physical activity to manage physical health conditions, including injuries, chronic metabolic diseases, pain and disabilities. They can do this through their understanding of how the human body responds to exercise, both physically and mentally.

What conditions can our Exercise Physiologists assist with?

Our Exercise Physiologists are experts in using exercise to manage:

Musculoskeletal pain arising from injury, disability, or a chronic condition such as Chronic Pain
General Health & Fitness - exercise programs tailored to your specific goals, from getting moving for the first time, to improving your current workout program
Peri-natal Exercise - exercises and advice for all stages of pregnancy and post-natal management of pelvic floor and abdominal separation (diastasis of rectus abdominus)
Women's Health - exercise programs tailored in consideration of endometriosis, lipedema, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
Diabetes and other lifestyle related diseases
Cardiac Rehabilitation - post surgical or conservative management of cardiac conditions, eg coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Healthy Ageing - including improving muscle mass / strength, balance training for falls prevention, and loss of bone density (osteoporosis)
Disabilities that benefit from exercise, such as Multiple Sclerosis. We provide exercise physiology under the NDIS
Mental Health & Wellbeing - as a part of managing the physical aspect of your recovery from conditions such as depression, PTSD and addiction
