Exercise Physiology & Rehabilitation
Our Certified Exercise Physiologists Can Help You Regain Focus on Your Health Goals Beyond Just Exercise
What is an Exercise Physiologist?
Exercise Physiologists (EPs) are university-trained allied health professionals who design and supervise safe exercise programs for acute, chronic, or injury-related conditions. Working closely with Physiotherapists, EPs provide a holistic approach to recovery.
At Pivot Health Group, once physiotherapy has managed your pain and improved mobility, our Exercise Physiologists help enhance movement, boost performance, and prevent injury.
How Can We Help?
Your Exercise Physiologist customises sessions to meet your needs and goals, recommending safe, effective exercises for musculoskeletal issues, medical conditions, or fitness aims. With university training and expertise, they design enjoyable, personalised programs. Our EPs collaborate closely with Physiotherapists to ensure your progress stays on track.
What To Expect?
We allow up to an hour for your initial session to fully understand your needs and concerns. After a thorough assessment to identify injuries or risks, we review your medical history, lifestyle, and nutrition.
Your goals and exercise preferences are discussed to create a personalised, enjoyable program. Finally, you’ll receive a tailored fitness plan with safe, effective exercises designed to help you reach your objectives.
