Exercise Physiology

During an exercise physiology session, you can expect a thorough assessment of your health and fitness levels. The exercise physiologist will create a personalized exercise program based on your specific needs and goals. They will also provide guidance and support to ensure you perform exercises correctly and safely.

The frequency of visits to an exercise physiologist depends on your individual goals and health conditions. Typically, clients may start with more frequent sessions to establish a routine and then gradually reduce the frequency as they become more confident and independent in their exercise program.

Yes, exercise physiology services may be covered by Medicare if you have a chronic medical condition and are referred by a GP under a management plan. Many private health insurance plans also offer rebates for exercise physiology services. It’s best to check with your health insurance provider for specific coverage details.

Exercise physiology can help manage a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, arthritis, respiratory conditions, mental health issues, and musculoskeletal injuries.

We offer flexible options for our clients. You can choose to perform the exercises at home, in your local gym, or within our private training facility in O’Connor. Your exercise physiologist will tailor the program to suit your preferred location and resources.

Exercise physiologists have extensive training and education in the science of exercise and its impact on the body, particularly for those with chronic health conditions. They use evidence-based practices to design safe and effective exercise programs, while personal trainers typically focus on general fitness and performance without specialized training in medical conditions.
