FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Exercise Physiologist?

An Exercise Physiologist is a highly trained allied health professional with a university qualification. They specialise in managing and preventing injuries and chronic conditions by leveraging exercise, lifestyle adjustments and behaviour modification to enhance overall wellbeing.

Our lead Exercise Physiologist, Patrick has completed a Master’s degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology and has over 6 years of hands-on experience where he has helped 100s of people transform their lives through evidence-based exercise interventions.

How are you different to Physiotherapy?

Both Exercise Physiology and Physiotherapy share the goal of improving health and well-being. The biggest difference between the two is that Exercise Physiology takes a hands-off active approach while Physiotherapists typically take more of a hands-on passive approach.

You'll typically see an Exercise Physiologist to:

  • get prescribed exercises to help manage chronic conditions or injuries

  • improve strength and mobility

  • optimise lifestyle and reduce risk of developing chronic diseases

While a Physiotherapist would assist with:

  • soft tissue mobilisation (massage)

  • acute rehabilitation

  • prescription of assistive devices such as walking sticks and wheelchairs

What conditions can an Exercise Physiologist treat?

Exercise physiology can address a wide range of conditions and health concerns, both as a preventive measure and as a part of comprehensive treatment plans. These include (but not limited to):

  • Cardiovascular conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure (hypertension), peripheral vascular disease

  • Metabolic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity

  • Musculoskeletal conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and muscle imbalances

  • Respiratory conditions such as asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

  • Neurological conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke and Parkinson’s Disease

  • Mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety and stress

  • Aged-related concerns such as falls prevention and maintaining independence

Can I use my NDIS funding?

Of course! We can support both Self Managed and Plan Managed participants.

How long do consultations go for?

Depending on your needs and goals, your Exercise Physiologist can recommend anywhere between 30 and 60 minutes for a consultation. This will be discussed in your discovery call or initial assessment.

What do I need to wear for my consultations?

Anything you can exercise in! We recommend wearing comfortable shoes, stretchy pants and a loose-fitting shirt

What areas do you service?

We currently service the South West Sydney, Campbelltown/Macarthur and Inner West Sydney regions. However, if you are not in those regions, we can be flexible or offer telehealth services so you will not be at a disadvantage!
