Exercise Physiology

 

Exercise can be one of the most important strategies you use to improve your health. But getting back into exercise after an illness or injury can be challenging.

 

Our exercise professionals have the experience and knowledge to design a program for you to start slowly and progress as you improve.  They can assess your condition and prescribe an exercise program that is safe, effective and achievable. They work closely with your other health providers to coordinate your care. Our exercise clinic is not a gym, but a non-intimidating environment that you can feel comfortable in no matter what stage you are on your health journey. We can also help you get started with a home program if you want to exercise in your own surroundings.

Chronic Disease Management Plans can be set with with your doctor if you are eligible and you may receive medicare rebates for up to five consultations a year. We are also NDIS registered and provide services through the Department of Veterans' Affairs and Workcover. You may also be eligible for a rebate through your private health company.

Our Exercise Physiologists can continue your care either one on one or in small group sessions. All exercise sessions are supervised by one of our Accredited Exercise Physiologists to ensure you are getting the most out of each session.
