Exercise Physiology for Lung Conditions

Whether you’ve been living with a respiratory condition for years or are newly diagnosed, our Accredited Exercise Physiologists can help you improve breathing comfort, daily function and overall wellbeing.

We deliver personalised, evidence-based exercise programs that support respiratory health, enhance physical capacity, reduce breathlessness and help you stay active safely. Respiratory exercise support can be particularly effective as part of pulmonary rehabilitation for chronic lung conditions such as COPD, asthma and bronchiectasis.

Our Approach

We take a comprehensive approach to improving your respiratory health through exercise physiology, including:

Assessment & Individualised Plan

We start with a detailed assessment of breathing tolerance, current activity levels and personal goals to tailor your program and ensure it’s safe and effective.

Aerobic Conditioning

Low-to-moderate intensity activities such as walking, cycling, or tailored interval sessions help increase endurance and reduce breathlessness over time.

Strength & Functional Training

Targeted strength work helps improve overall muscle endurance and supports daily tasks that can become more challenging with respiratory limitations.

Breathing Techniques

We teach evidence-based breathing strategies (like diaphragmatic and pursed-lip breathing) to help improve breathing mechanics and reduce sensations of breathlessness.

 Self-Management Education

You’ll learn strategies for activity pacing, energy management and symptom awareness so you can stay confident and active in everyday life.

Benefits of Exercise Physiology

  • Improve breathing tolerance and aerobic function
  • Reduce breathlessness during daily activities
  • Build muscle strength and endurance
  • Enhance mood and confidence to move
  • Better manage flare-ups and long-term symptoms
