When you visit our Exercise Physiologist, you can expect them to attentively listen to your personal story and ask relevant questions to gain a comprehensive understanding of your needs. They will conduct a detailed, goal-focused, clinical, and functional assessment to guide the development of an appropriate treatment plan.
The specific treatment you receive will be customised to your unique circumstances and may involve modified movements and exercises aimed at improving your strength, fitness, balance, and other functional abilities. As you progress, your treatment plan will be adjusted accordingly, ensuring continued progress. Our Exercise Physiologists are equipped to provide education on health, conditions, injuries, and offer guidance on what activities are beneficial and what to avoid.
