At Road to Recovery, our Exercise Physiologists have completed a minimum 4 years of university training to become qualified allied health professionals, recognised in the medical and health sectors. We love exercise and the science behind it!
Exercise Physiologists are experts in understanding the human body and the role of exercise across the lifespan and how to make your body move more efficiently. We work with our clients and prescribe exercise to help individuals achieve their health goals, optimise performance and live well.
Exercise physiology can be beneficial for individuals of all ages and fitness levels. Whether your goals are to improve your 10km run time, recover from an injury or improve your general health and condition, you can certainly benefit from our team’s knowledge and insight. Exercise Physiology can be particularly beneficial for:
People with chronic health conditions
Exercise Physiology is a more widely recommended service for individuals with cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other chronic health conditions. Understanding how exercise can help you, what type is best and how much do you need to do to get benefit are crucial questions that our team help people understand to improve their health.
Ageing Population
As we age, we face an increasing number of health concerns and conditions. The good news is that most of these are lifestyle related and within our control. Exercise is a powerful tool in ageing well and only becomes more important as we age to keep muscles and bones strong, improve our balance and can be fantastic as a social activity in a group setting.
Those Recovering From Injury
If you’re recovering from an injury or surgery, exercise physiology can help you regain strength, flexibility, and return to good function. This starts with quality assessment and goal setting, roadmapping your recovery journey and reviewing progress together.
Athletes and Sporting Teams
Need to level up your performance and unsure how to breakthrough plateaus? Our Exercise Physiologists take a science based approach to training and can assess your performance and determine your training needs. We use state of the art performance testing equipment such as Force-Decks, VALD Dynamometry and VO2 testing equipment to give you accurate results and performance driven recommendations.
Women’s Health
Exercise physiology sessions can assist women through pregnancy stages and postnatal recovery, pelvic floor issues and other issues such as endometriosis. We have Exercise Physiologists who specialise in Women’s Health and Exercise across Pregnancy and can help guide you through the different stages and needs of your body.
