Why choose Milestone Health and Performance?
We understand that our service is much more than just exercise. Our team of Exercise Physiologists provide a respectful, patient and effective service.
As people get older a lot of treatment involves getting help to do things such as cleaning, gardening, showering and activities around the house. As they get help to do these things their activity level reduces and without addressing this their function and ability to complete tasks gets worse over time.
This can be a frustrating experience as most people would like to still be able to do these activities independently but their physical condition may not allow them to.
We provide the opportunity for clients to work on their physical capabilities and give them an opportunity to improve.
