Working in conjunction with the NDIS and the participant’s planner, our Exercise Physiologists provide a comprehensive and specialized exercise program, tailored to the specific needs of the individual helping them achieve their personal goals and enabling them to participate more in the community.
Exercise Physiology services can be utilised to improve function through muscles that have become inactive or weakened as a result of your disability.
Water provides a near-weightless environment where individuals can work at a similar intensity to land-based exercise, but for longer without discomfort or post-exercise soreness.
Following an initial assessment, appropriate clients undertake individual sessions with an AEP aiming to assist with general fitness, core strength, weight management, balance, coordination and strength.
Locations of hydrotherapy sessions are held at various locations, generally the patient’s closest local indoor pool.
Following an initial assessment, rehabilitation would include strengthening, mobility, dynamic stabilisation, neuromuscular training and functional conditioning strategies to reduce dysfunction, pain and disability.
Treatment modalities may include body weighted exercise and movements, mobility/stretching techniques, corrective exercise, strength training, and hydrotherapy emphasizing evidence-based exercise therapy.
Knowledge of the latest and current evidence based research in the form of exercise prescription, nutritional programming, and behaviour modification are implemented within our exercise clinics to provide you with quality, effective and professional training solutions.
Following a detailed initial assessment including analysis of your goals and an anthropometry assessment, this information is used as your baseline data, which will provide the structure for your individualised training program.
