Questions about exercise physiology
What's the difference between exercise physiology and physiotherapy?
Both use movement. Physiotherapy often includes hands-on treatment and acute injury care; exercise physiology focuses on structured exercise for long-term conditions and capacity. Many clients benefit from both, and our team works together.
Do I need to be fit to start?
No. Programs start from wherever you are — many begin with gentle, seated or supported exercise.
Is exercise physiology covered by the NDIS?
Yes. We are a registered NDIS provider and work with all plan management types.
