Exercise Physiology

Optimise your health and wellbeing with exercise physiology

Exercise physiology uses targeted exercise programs to improve physical health, mobility and long-term wellbeing.

As a NDIS registered provider, our exercise physiologists support children, teenagers and adults with cerebral palsy and similar disabilities. We help you build mobility, strength and fitness so you can stay active and reach your personal goals through safe, evidence-based exercise programs.

How we can help

Our exercise physiologists take the time to get to know you, understand your daily life and goals, and work with you to create a personalised program that supports you at home, in the gym and in the community. 

Your program may focus on: 

  • Building muscle strength and endurance 
  • Improving balance, mobility and coordination 
  • Increasing fitness 
  • Managing fatigue or pain 
  • Supporting healthy weight and overall wellbeing 
  • Building confidence to participate in sport, recreation and daily activities 

We review your program regularly to ensure it remains safe, effective, and aligned with your NDIS goals. 

Let's work together to help you reach your goals

We provide exercise physiology services in one-on-one or group sessions. We deliver these sessions in our fully accessible gyms and therapy centres across NSW and the ACT. 

Our exercise physiologists work closely with our physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech pathologists to provide coordinated care that supports your overall health and independence.
