- Rehabilitation: We use the data from the AxIT system to design rehabilitation programs that result in more specific and targeted programming. This results in more efficient and specific rehabilitation outcomes.

- Pain: Where pain is coming from weaknesses identified by your treating practitioner, our Exercise physiologist can test and create specific programs to get the strength where you need it to work with your manual therapist to reduce the pain long term.
Group Classes
Not everybody needs ongoing 1:1 attention and group classes have been shown to improve exercise program adherence on top of being a lot of fun. These classes are affordable and you will likely be surrounded by like minded people with similar conditions.
To attended group classes you will need to have at least one session with our Exercise Physiologist to ensure you are suitable for these classes. For more information please contact the clinic.
Exercise Physiology is claimable by Private Health Insurance but, you will need to check that you are covered for this within your extras. Also, it is possible to get a referral by your GP as part of the Chronic Disease Management Plan, which is partly covered by medicare. This covers roughly half of the cost of your visit for up to 5 visits. It is at your GP's discretion as to whether you are eligible for this program.
