What is Exercise Physiology?

Exercise Physiology is an allied health service that addresses the short-term responses to exercise over time. Exercise Physiologists utilise exercise as 'medicine' to help combat chronic health conditions such as Type 2 Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, Stroke, Intellectual Disabilities, and many more. Accredited Exercise Physiologists are university qualified health professionals who are backed by Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA). We are specialised and well-equipped in prescribing, supervising and monitoring individualized exercise programs to fight chronic health conditions or to help strengthen your everyday athlete.

Return to Sport

Injury is an unavoidable aspect of physical exercise – for both amateurs and professionals. Some injuries are easier, while others will keep you away from exercising for weeks. Whichever the case may be, always wait until you get the green light from your doctor to start training again.

Since every injury is different, every training plan to return to your previous performance is different.

The factors which affect your training plan are:

How severe your injury was
How long you had to rest your injured leg
How fit you were before the injury
What type of physical therapy you were allowed to do during the recovery process

The key to successfully getting back in shape is moderation. Many athletes feel pressured to get back to their level of fitness and performance as soon as possible, and set up an unrealistic training plan.
