Our team understands that no two individuals are the same, which is why we design appropriate exercise programs following a comprehensive assessment to meet the goals and underlying pathology of the individual.
Home visits
Home visits are designed for those individuals who are less mobile and who are being cared for at home. Most of the problems faced by the elderly can be managed at home with simple yet effective exercises. Our qualified Exercise Physiologists will provide valuable home assistance in improving functional mobility and quality of life.
Hydrotherapy
Our individual and/or group hydrotherapy services are guided by one of our Exercise Physiologists in a safe, friendly and relaxing atmosphere for patients of all ages. Hydrotherapy can increase muscle, bone and joint strength, increasing flexibility and movement, relieve pain and muscle spasm and improve balance, co-ordination and posture.
Corporate Health
In today’s society we are faced with extended working hours often resulting in increased stress levels leading employees to develop chronic conditions (depression, back pain and others). At Melinda Weaver – Exercise Physiologist we ensure our programs have measurable targets and outcomes in order to demonstrate the value add and return on investment to your business.

Exercise Physiologists treat clients through a range of referral pathways, while referral is not always required it is necessary for bulk billing services by externally funded schemes such as:

Private patients do not require a referral. Rebates are now available through most major private health funds, check with your provider to see if you are eligible for a rebate. We also offer HICAPS for easy on the spot claiming.
