Exercise Physiology

1 on 1 appointments:

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.

Testimonials

Mel has been my Exercise Physiologist since I had complex open heart surgery. I also have other chronic injuries having spent 21 years in the Army. I have complete faith in Mel’s professional guidance and believe she has made a positive impact on my health. Mel varies her instructions to make her programs interesting and she personalises my programs giving consideration to my physical restrictions. Without Mel’s guidance, I know I would not manage my fitness as well as I do with her. I highly recommend Mel to all people of all ages, & all fitness levels.

Mark Orreal

I just wanted to write to you and express how grateful I am for all the love and support you have given me over the last 3 years. From the very first time I met you when you did my initial consultation, I could see how much you cared for me as a person and how you could tailor specific exercises to help me improve my mobility. As you know I had numerous old sporting injuries and as I got older I’ve had a couple of bad falls. With your help I have been able to get out of bed more easily and walk around for much longer than my orthopaedic surgeon thought I would and I am still working in a very physical job. I look forward to your sessions. Even though I may winge sometimes I go away feeling so much better than when I came in. I have recommended you to numerous family and friends and many of them have told me how wonderful you are. I wish you all the best and thank you so much, for being such a big part of my healthy lifestyle.

Della & Derek Holden

I have had both group and individual care from Melinda for a couple of years now. She is by far the best and most professional exercise physiologist that I have ever had. She tells you what and why she tailors your exercise and varies it so that it never becomes tedious or harmful. This woman is a gem.
