PUSHING YOUR LIMITS

What Can An Exercise Physiologist Help Me With?

Research has proven that exercise, at the correct intensity and duration, does improve the quality and duration of life. More importantly, it decreases the incidence of chronic health conditions and obesity. Through Exercise Physiology you can be tested and provided with exercises to help with the management and prevention of chronic health conditions, rehabilitation, disabilities and mental health conditions.
Prior to engaging in exercise, our Exercise Physiologists conduct a comprehensive biomechanical and postural assessment. The assessment is designed to identify any range of motion restrictions, postural imbalances, muscular weakness and functional limitations. Assessment outcomes identify crucial elements that require rehabilitation to reduce your risk of injury or developing muscular pain. Our practitioners have developed unique exercise programs delivering effective patient outcomes. We help you reconnect your body with exercise improving your quality of life.

Remember, ageing is inevitable, disease and pain is preventable.
