What is Exercise physiology?
Exercise physiology works at designing specialised exercise interventions for patients with a wide array of health conditions. These interventions aim to prevent or manage your health conditions while improving quality of life through exercise.
Exercise-based interventions look to improve your overall wellness while providing adequate support and advice from the exercise physiologist. Our Brisbane Accredited Exercise Physiologist also works athletes and sports people looking to improve performance and reduce injuries.

One on one consults – 1hr (Assessment and exercise therapy)
Improving quality of life with chronic conditions through specific, targeted exercise therapy is currently the best form of treatment and management. This includes conditions such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, osteoporosis and depression, to name a few. During these sessions, our exercise physio team will be hoping to help those patients who are not just in pain but looking to help better manage these chronic health conditions that have a negative impact on function and quality of life.
Exercise physiologists can also work with athletes looking to improve their performance. Training sessions can consist of biomechanical analysis, exercise prescription and program planning, performance testing, and education. Exercise physiologists are focused in their programming and very effective in helping their patients achieve their goals and improving function.
One-on-one consults can also be an excellent pre and post-exercise intervention assessment. Our Brisbane exercise physiologist team can work with you to assess your improvements in strength and performance. An exercise physiologist can then add new exercises into your program to further improve your performance.
