How Exercise Physiology Can Help You

Aging can bring about physical changes such as reduced muscle strength, joint pain, and balance issues. However, regular exercise tailored to individual needs can help maintain function, prevent injuries, and improve overall well-being. Our Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) specialise in creating safe and effective exercise programs for seniors to help them stay independent and active.

Our Exercise Physiology Services Include:

• Strength & Mobility Training: We design programs that focus on improving muscle strength, flexibility, and joint mobility to help you stay active and independent.

• Falls Prevention & Balance Programs: Our evidence-based exercise programs help reduce the risk of falls by enhancing balance, coordination, and lower limb strength.

• Chronic Disease Management: If you have diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, or other chronic conditions, we develop personalised exercise plans to manage symptoms and improve function.

• Rehabilitation After Surgery or Injury: If you’ve had joint replacements, fractures, or other surgeries, our AEPs will guide you through safe and effective rehabilitation exercises to restore mobility and strength.

• Pain Management Strategies: We use movement-based therapies to help alleviate pain from conditions like osteoarthritis, back pain, and joint stiffness, reducing reliance on medication.

• Cardiovascular & Respiratory Health Programs: Exercise is crucial for heart and lung health. We tailor programs to improve endurance, breathing efficiency, and overall cardiovascular function.

• Cognitive Health & Mental Well-being: Research shows that physical activity supports brain health and can help manage symptoms of dementia, depression, and anxiety. Our programs incorporate exercises that benefit both the body and mind.

• Functional Fitness for Daily Living: We focus on exercises that mimic daily activities, such as standing up from a chair, climbing stairs, and carrying groceries, ensuring you remain capable and confident in your everyday routine.
