Exercise Physiology

 

Exercise Physiologists (EPs) are university-qualified health professionals who specialise in designing individualised exercise programs for a wide range of conditions, injuries, and disabilities. With in-depth knowledge of how the body responds to exercise, EPs tailor programs to each person’s health, fitness, and goals—because no two bodies are the same.

Following an initial assessment, which includes baseline testing, graded exercise programs are developed. Small increases in volume and intensity are used to safely progress each client. We aim for the “Sweet Spot”, improving health, fitness, and recovery without causing pain or risking injury. Programs often combine strength, cardiovascular, mobility, and balance exercises to help clients achieve their goals.

We believe in making the years count, advocating for maintaining or improving quality of life, especially as we get older. Exercise can help prevent falls, maintain independence, keep up with grandchildren, and support other age-related health conditions.

“If the benefits of exercise could be packaged into a single pill, the whole world would be taking it.”
