As we age it is important to stay active and maintain health. With age day to day activities become harder and may require help from others- however without doing these tasks it can reduce capacity over time(move it or lose it). Exercise Physiology helps to address this with exercise targeted on improving upper body strength, lower body strength, balance and aerobic capacity. 

Exercise Physiology services can help to improve:

• Balance to reduce the risk of falls
• Mobility around the house and in the community
• Physical capacity to complete day to day tasks such as walking, carrying shopping and standing up unassisted

Services Offered

• Home Visits
  • Services can provide either supervised exercise, a home exercise program or a combination of both
• Risk Assessment 
  • Progress reports can identify areas that need to be worked on to reduce the risk of falls, cardiovascular disease and the impact of comorbidities on day to to day life. These are completed as part of an ongoing service or can be completed as a one off service

Assessment 

Progress reports are completed every 6 weeks or sooner upon request. Progress reports assess:

• Balance
• Ability to sit to stand from a chair
• Ability and quality of stair use
• Walking 
• Grip Strength 
• Aches and pains if present

 Each report has 3 recommendations on exercises that will help to improve results and a suggestion on what frequency of treatment would be most beneficial.
