What is an Exercise Physiotherapist?

Our exercise physiotherapy team are physios who also have university-level or post-graduate level qualifications in strength and conditioning. Most of them have completed a Bachelor degree in Exercise and Sports Science, then completed a Masters in Physiotherapy, giving them expertise in the dual areas of strength and conditioning as well as injury diagnosis and rehab. Research clearly proves that supervised structured exercise plays an essential role in the management of many conditions including;

Spinal (back and neck) pain
Sports injuries, sprains and strains
ACL rehab, including ACL reconstruction surgery as well as conservative (non-operative) management
Osteoarthritis e.g. hip and knee OA
Shoulder, hip and knee pain
Other conditions including diabetes, weight management and cardiovascular disease

Your First Exercise Physio session – the Biomechanical Assessment

In your initial consultation your exercise physio will talk with you to understand your current health and establish goals for your rehab. They will identify the underlying cause of your condition using cutting-edge video analysis and movement assessment systems like VALD ForceDecks and Dynamo to highlight movement imbalances, and clarify your priorities for correction. They will help you understand how these imbalances are impacting your movement and contributing to your problems, then design a personalised exercise program to correct them.

On-the-spot health fund rebates

All of our exercise physios are fully accredited with all health funds, and for your convenience we provide on-the-spot health fund claims through the HICAPS system. If you are in a private health fund please bring your card along with you.
