Exercise Physiology
From rehab to peak performance
Exercise physiology is all about using the science of movement to help you feel and function at your best. Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing a health condition, or chasing new fitness goals, an exercise physiologist creates a program that’s tailored to you. It’s not just about exercise — it’s about building strength, reducing pain, boosting energy, and improving long-term health. With expert guidance, you’ll move with confidence, regain control of your body, and enjoy a healthier, more active life.

What to Expect
Your first appointment is all about understanding you. We’ll take the time to learn about your health history, lifestyle, goals, and any injuries or conditions you’re managing. This helps us build a clear picture of where you are and where you’d like to be. Please come in clothes you feel comfortable to exercise in.
Next, we’ll do some simple assessments to check your movement, strength, fitness, and function.
From that point we will help you find the right option for you around exercising in and out of the clinic, whether that's a home exercise
program, 1:1 EP sessions or participating in one of our groups and classes. As you progress, your exercise physiologist will guide,
support, and adjust your plan so you can keep moving forward with confidence.
