CLEMTON PARK EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY

What is exercise physiology

Exercise physiology is a rehabilitation and exercise therapy prescribed and supervised by university qualified exercise physiologist.  The goal of exercise physiology is to improve function, regain activity levels and recover faster.  By using exercise as medicine we can help you manage and recover from a range of chronic and complex conditions.
​
These include:
  • Diabetes
  • Cardiac rehabilitation
  • Depression
  • Recovery from cancer
  • Osteopoerosis
  • Rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis
  • Neurological disorders

Diabetes

Exercise has been shown by research to assist with the management of diabetes.  It is recommended that adults with type 2 diabetes should perform at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise per day.  Our exercise physiologist can help prescribe a program suitable for your levels of function, fitness levels and ensure that it is safe for you to perform.

If you have type 2 diabetes you may be eligible for a care plan that will offer a rebate for your exercise physiology sessions.   Speak with your GP to find out whether you are eligible for this.  Those that are eligible need to bring their form in to us for their session and in most cases we can bulk bill those sessions.

Mood and depression

Exercise is a natural anti-depressant.  It can help depression by facilitating the release of endorphins, by helping to take your mind off things, improving breathing and easing sense of anxiousness.

Of course it isn't easy to start exercise when experiencing depression or depressed mood and often it's the last thing you may want to do.  Getting help with an exercise physiologist to get started with your activity program can be a safe and supportive way of using exercise to help manage depression.

Osteopoerosis

Osteopoerosis causes reduced bone density and an increase risk of fractures.  By doing resistance and weight bearing exercise you can improve bone density.  Our exercise physiologist can prescribe a safe program to reduce the effects of osteopoerosis and ensure that you can perform exercises safely and to the most benefit.

To read a little more about exercise for osteopoerosis you can visit the osteopoerosis australia page.

Rheumatoid and osteoarthritis

Rheumatoid and osteoarthritis are different conditions that affect the joints.  Depending on the severity of arthritis, inflammatory pain, general fitness levels and which joints are impacted, the exercises required can be significantly different.  An exercise physiologist can help you find the correct exercises for your arthritic pains.

Workcover and Rehabilitation

We also offer Exercise Physiology services in the recovery from work related injuries.  If you have experienced slow recovery from your injury, undergone surgery or have a heavy/repetitive/awkward job then exercise physiology can help you return to full function and normal duties.

Our exercise physiology services can take place at a local gym and you will receive a personalised rehabilition program that targets your problem areas as well as being tailored for your job requirements.
