Accredited Exercise Physiology is a specialised allied health therapy that has extensive experience in neurological and musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Exercise Physiologists specialise in the delivery of clinical exercise, lifestyle and behavioural modification programs for the rehabilitation, management and prevention of chronic illness and disability.
Our Exercise Physiologists’ work with the participant to support, educate and empower each individual to improve their quality of life, achieve their personal functional goals and improve self-management of their neurological conditions.
At Breaking Boundaries our Exercise Physiologists offer:
In-clinic programming
Our Exercise Physiologists have 1:1 therapy and group therapy options in the clinic where they can tailor a strength and functional training session to suit the individual’s needs and goals.
Your Exercise Physiologist at Breaking Boundaries will initially assess your functional abilities, strength and fitness levels and then implement goal orientated sessions to support you in attaining your goals. If it is in your goals, they will also work with you to develop a sustainable home exercise program. At Breaking Boundaries our Exercise Physiologists offer ongoing support, progression and alteration to suit the individual’s goals and functional ability.
Hydrotherapy, pool and water therapy programming
With the support of our Exercise Physiologists we can aid you in exploring water-based therapies in the community.
Water-based therapy has associated health benefits such as reducing falls risk, improving balance, increasing muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness. Our Exercise Physiologists can meet you at your chosen local ocean bath, leisure center, indoor or outdoor pool; warm or cool, and support you through reaching your goals and improving your functional capacity. Our team can aid you in implementing an independent program, support worker assisted program or ongoing programing with our Exercise Physiologist tailored to your goals and aspirations.
Community gym integration and programming
Accessing community-based gyms can be overwhelming and at times difficult. Our Exercise Physiologists support participants in accessing community gyms and can also provide support worker training to assist participants in reaching their goals.
At Breaking Boundaries, our Exercise Physiologists are happy to meet participants at their chosen community gym and will complete the required assessments and measurements of strength and fitness levels. The Exercise Physiologist will then prescribe a goal-orientated clinical exercise program and guide the individual through the supported program. Ongoing progression and alteration of the program will be encouraged as the participant’s goals are achieved or change over time.
