How We Can Help
Our online consultations allow you to work directly with an Accredited Exercise Physiologist through an easy-to-use video platform. We take the time to listen to your concerns, understand your health history, assess your needs and develop a practical plan to help you achieve your goals.
During an online consultation, your Exercise Physiologist can:
- listen to your concerns and help identify what may be contributing to them
- assess your movement, strength, mobility, balance or function via video where appropriate
- provide clear education and advice in easy-to-understand language
- demonstrate and explain exercises or movement strategies
- supervise exercise technique and provide feedback in real time
- develop a personalised exercise program for you to complete at home
- teach self-management strategies to help you feel more confident between appointments
- recommend appropriate equipment or exercise aids if needed
Whether you are managing a health condition, recovering from injury, wanting to improve your strength and fitness, or simply unsure where to start, we can guide you with safe, evidence-based advice tailored to you.
Getting set up for an online consultation is simple. You will need:
- a computer, tablet or mobile phone with a camera and microphone
- a reliable internet connection
- a safe space where you can move comfortably
- comfortable clothing suitable for exercise
- any exercise equipment you already have at home, if relevant
