WHAT IS EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY?

WHAT IS EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY?

Exercise Physiology is an active rather than passive form of treatment, delivered by Accredited Exercise Physiologists.

This form of treatment is aimed at facilitating physiological adaptations in our clients, based on exposing them to varying levels of graded physical activity.

Treatment sessions will require you to effectively implement prescribed exercises developed for your specific situation to  improve physical function and achieve your health goals.

Your exercise physiology treatment sessions will be delivered in a supportive environment, which may be in the form of a gym / fitness centre, local public park, your home, online via video, or even in your workplace. 

HOW IS TREATMENT DELIVERED?

HOW IS TREATMENT DELIVERED?

Before you have your first exercise physiology treatment session, we will need to assess your current physical ability. Obtaining this baseline data will help us to tailor a program specifically for your situation.

Your Exercise Physiologist will meet you at the chosen facility or location, where you will perform your prescribed exercises.

We will continue to monitor your exercise performance during treatment sessions, providing feedback to help you improve.

NoteWe partner with selected fitness facilities around Sydney that we have hand-picked, meeting specific criteria.

Exercise Physiology For Injury Rehab

Exercise Physiology For Injury Rehabilitation

Why Do You Need Exercise Physiology?

Why Do You Need Exercise Physiology Treatment?

It is critical for injured persons to receive the right treatment as soon as possible after sustaining an injury, as this may determine the severity of the challenges that you may face in your recovery.

Unfortunately for too many people, musculoskeletal injuries can often be mismanaged and lack the direction of an effective treatment plan.

Too often we hear of clients who remain tied to passive treatment for far longer than necessary, with little to no improvement. Yet despite this, they will continue to attend treatment sessions with little or no benefit.

Being advised to take a “wait and see” approach progressively reduces the chance of recovery with every week that passes by.

It is your responsibility as the injured party, to question whether your current treatment plan is effective for your situation; and discuss with your doctor about making changes to your treatment when you’re not seeing any progress.

When Should I Start Exercise Physiology Treatment?

When To Start Exercise Physiology Treatment?

If you have sustained an injury, you will typically go to your doctor who will then refer you for physiotherapy treatment to manage the acute phase of your injury and prepare you for the progression to Exercise Physiology based treatment.

It is common for recovery to stall at this point, as without progressing your treatment plan with a referral to an Exercise Physiologist and continuing with ongoing passive treatment, it simply becomes excessive and ineffective.

If you find that you recovery is taking longer than expected or your current treatment is no longer resulting in significant improvements, then it is time to rethink your treatment strategy and consider getting an Exercise Physiologist involved.

Here are some situations where Exercise Physiology treatment may help:

  • If you are STILL having passive forms of treatment after 6-12 weeks without significant improvement (i.e. physiotherapy, massage or chiropractic treatment)

  • If activities that you once performed are becoming increasingly more difficult and/or painful to perform

  • If you feel physically de-conditioned, lack strength, energy and/or motivation to be physically active

  • If you have been compensating for your injury and now you find other areas are becoming symptomatic.

What Conditions Can Benefit From Exercise Physiology?

What Other Conditions Can Benefit From Exercise Physiology?

Exercise Physiology is very effective in the management of a wide range of chronic, complex and lifestyle based health conditions, that goes far beyond the treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries. 

Some health situations where exercise can benefit include:

  • Muscle imbalances
  • Pre-surgical strengthening of muscles
  • Post-operative rehabilitation 
  • Orthopaedic conditions
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Osteoporosis
  • Chronic Pain Symptoms
  • Mental health conditions
  • Neurological conditions
  • Balance and Falls Prevention
  • Cardiovascular conditions
  • Obesity and weight management
  • Diabetes and Insulin sensitivity
  • Sports performance & training

Exercise Physiology Can Assist Your Pain

Exercise Physiology Can Assist Your Pain

As health professionals, we utilise specific techniques that allow us to sight visual cues and behaviours that are key indicators of pain. We draw upon experiences of working with hundreds of other clients (with situations similar to yours) to assist your recovery. 

We understand that you are the one experiencing pain symptoms, not us. As we are only with you for the short duration of the treatment session, your pain symptoms may sometimes, continue long after the session is completed. 

However with your ongoing treatment, the frequency and duration that pain episodes occur, is expected to decrease.

Unfortunately we’ve heard some horror stories from clients before coming to us, who had been pushed well beyond their physical limitations and pain thresholds with the treating therapist citing a “no pain, no gain” mentality.

This approach in most cases will aggravate injury and can delay client recovery, in some cases for more than six months.

This is NOT the way that treatment should be delivered for clients with musculoskeletal injuries, or other health conditions; and it is not an approach we take in our business. 

Our philosophy is about achieving long term lifestyle improvement goals, based on prescribing exercises for where you are currently at and upgrading you to subsequent levels, as you are capable of doing so.
