Exercise physiology
Exercise physiology in Wollongong
Exercise physiology uses individualised, clinically informed exercise to improve function, prepare for treatment, support recovery and help people manage ongoing musculoskeletal and health conditions.
Direct access
Private appointments can generally be booked without a medical referral.
Individual assessment
Programs are based on current capacity, symptoms, treatment stage, health history and goals.
Progressive exercise
Strength, conditioning, mobility and functional tasks are progressed at an appropriate pace.
Connected care
The program can align with physiotherapy, specialist, nursing and other clinical recommendations.
How exercise physiology may help
Exercise with a clear clinical purpose.
The plan is tailored to what matters to the person, whether that is preparing for surgery, rebuilding after treatment, improving balance or returning to work and activity.
Prehabilitation
Improve strength, movement capacity and confidence before surgery or another planned treatment.
Post-operative progression
Build beyond early rehabilitation with progressive strength, conditioning and functional goals.
Chronic conditions and persistent pain
Develop sustainable exercise strategies that account for symptoms, health conditions and changing capacity.
Falls prevention and healthy ageing
Support balance, strength, mobility and confidence for everyday life and ongoing independence.
Connected pathways
Exercise supports the wider treatment and recovery plan.
Exercise physiology may be the starting point or become involved after assessment, imaging, physiotherapy, surgery or physician care.
