Movement as medicine.
Exercise Physiology uses movement, exercises, stretches and nutritional advice to optimise how the body functions, improving metabolic processes and helping everything work in harmony. Through evidence-based practice, it bridges medical science and physical health, making movement a powerful tool for healing, recovery and vitality.

Some services are eligible for a Medicare rebate, or fully covered by insurance with a claim number. Check with your private health insurance for coverage of exercise physiology services (including HCF).
Pregnancy & Postpartum
Pregnancy is a transformative phase, and our programs support you at every step, one-on-one with our Exercise Physiologist or through our team-based Pregnancy Mapping and Assessment service. A comprehensive initial assessment takes in your family history, health record and lifestyle so we understand how you function day to day.
Your approach depends on your activity levels: for those already active, we keep you moving well and progressively deload as pregnancy advances; for those less active, we find what you enjoy and safely build strength, heart and lung function. Research in Australia and overseas shows physical activity during pregnancy carries far less risk than no activity at all.
- One-on-one sessions, and/or specialised group classes tailored per trimester (9 sessions each, with 3 Women’s Health Physio reviews)
- Home exercise programs and check-ins while you’re away from the studio
- Postpartum care that reviews your birth, screens for postnatal depression, and rebuilds strength as directed by your GP, OB or Pelvic Physiotherapist
Functional Rehabilitation
Recovery is a journey. Our sessions are designed to reset, reactivate and reload, helping you regain strength and mobility across musculoskeletal injuries, post-surgery recovery, chronic injury management and workers compensation.
An initial assessment reviews your injury history and any interventions, with an active assessment of how the injury has affected your movement. You’ll begin guided exercises straight away, followed by a graded rehabilitation program with scheduled reviews.
- 6-week functional rehab block, run weekly, max 10 per group
- 45-minute sessions guided by your Exercise Physiologist
- Three levels of difficulty per exercise, building stability, then strength, then functional strength
