Understanding Exercise
Physiology Services
An exercise physiologist is a healthcare professional who uses exercise and physical activity to support the management or prevention of chronic health conditions. They can also assist with recovery following surgery or injury, returning to exercise and developing strategies to support movement and activity.
They design individualised exercise programs based on assessments, designed to support strength, mobility, and endurance while providing guidance for activity. This can include post-operative strength programs, support for returning to the gym, or one-on-one guidance for people who would like more personalised support with their exercise.
Supporting You
From Recovery to Performance
An exercise physiologist can assess individual needs and develop a tailored exercise program based on your assessment and health status.
Key areas where exercise physiology may provide support include:
Chronic
Conditions
Exercise physiology may support cardiovascular health and diabetes management, as well as chronic pain and neuromuscular conditions such as Parkinson's disease, stroke, or multiple sclerosis.
Musculoskeletal
Concerns
Exercise physiology may support musculoskeletal conditions including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis, and offer guidance for acute and chronic injuries.
Recovery and
Rehabilitation
With tailored guidance and support, exercise physiology may help support post-operative rehabilitation and care. This may help you regain your strength as you return to everyday activities.
Mental
Well-Being
Exercise physiologists may be able to offer guidance to help manage mental health conditions and concerns such as depression and anxiety.
Healthy
Ageing
Maintaining mobility is an important part of ageing. Exercise physiology may help maintain your strength and support fall prevention.
Performance
Tailored exercise plans and conditioning techniques may help athletes improve strength, flexibility, and performance, no matter their level.

Frequently Asked Exercise Physiology Questions
Exercise physiology focuses on using exercise to support the management or prevention of chronic conditions, offering post-operative strength programs and personalised exercise programs to assist with physical function, and provide strategies to support overall health.
Physiotherapy primarily focuses on injury assessment and treatment, injury rehabilitation and recovery. Both fields may be used together at our clinic, working closely to provide a coordinated approach to assessment and activity guidance.
Exercise physiology may support people of all ages and activity levels. It is particularly relevant for people managing chronic conditions, recovering from injuries or surgery, or seeking guidance for physical activity. Programs are tailored to individual needs, health, and fitness goals.
For many people, it may. Exercise physiology uses movement to support core strength, mobility, and everyday function, which may help you feel more capable and confident in daily life.
Exercise physiology isn’t just about recovery. Our exercise physiologists may provide strength and conditioning guidance for athletes at all levels to potentially improve their performance and work toward their goals.
It’s designed around you, so that it may be achievable. Your exercise physiologist tailors every program to your current fitness, health, and goals, starting at a level that suits you and adjusting as you progress.
The aim is manageable movement that builds over time, not to push you beyond what your body’s ready for.
We regularly review your progress and adjust programs based on individual response and assessment findings. We can also use VALD force plates to measure strength, power and any differences between sides. These findings can then be used to design specific exercise programs that supports ongoing activity and adaptation to personal needs.
It may be worth seeing an exercise physiologist if you have recently experienced an injury, are recovering from surgery, or are looking for ways to address your everyday health and well-being.
