Question 1

What is exercise physiology and how can it benefit me?

Accepted Answer

Exercise physiology is a specialized field within the realm of physiotherapy that focuses on prescribing and implementing exercise programs to improve overall health and well-being. Our highly trained exercise physiologists will assess your specific needs and goals, and design a tailored exercise program to address your unique requirements. Regular exercise has been proven to enhance cardiovascular health, build strength and endurance, manage chronic conditions, and improve mental well-being.

Question 2

How does exercise physiology differ from personal training or general fitness programs?

Accepted Answer

While personal training and general fitness programs aim to improve overall fitness levels, exercise physiology takes a more holistic approach. Our exercise physiologists possess in-depth knowledge of the human body and its physiological responses to exercise, allowing them to design programs that are safe, effective, and tailored to your specific needs. They work closely with physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals to ensure that your exercise program aligns with any existing treatments or conditions you may have.

Question 3

Can exercise physiology help with managing chronic conditions or injuries?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Exercise physiology is highly effective in managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, arthritis, and more. Our exercise physiologists are trained to develop exercise programs that are safe and beneficial for individuals with various health conditions or injuries. By working closely with your healthcare team, they can help you manage symptoms, improve functional abilities, and enhance your overall quality of life through targeted exercise interventions.

Question 4

How long are exercise physiology sessions, and how frequently should I attend?

Accepted Answer

The duration and frequency of exercise physiology sessions may vary depending on your individual needs and goals. Typically, an initial assessment session will be conducted to evaluate your current fitness level, medical history, and specific requirements. From there, our exercise physiologist will develop a personalized exercise program for you. Sessions may range from 30 minutes to one hour, and the frequency of attendance will be determined based on your progress and goals. Your exercise physiologist will provide guidance on the optimal frequency to achieve the desired outcomes.

Question 5

Is exercise physiology covered by private health insurance or the NDIS?

Accepted Answer

Exercise physiology is often covered by private health insurance, depending on your policy and level of coverage. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to determine the extent of your coverage. Additionally, if you are a participant in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), exercise physiology services may be included in your plan. As an NDIS provider, Activ Therapy can assist you in accessing exercise physiology services through the scheme. Our team will work closely with you to ensure a smooth and seamless process.
