Why See an Exercise Physiologist?

Medical Knowledge

We have a good understanding of different medical conditions and medications and how they may impact your ability to engage in regular physical activity and can adapt an exercise program accordingly. 

Individualised Program

We will create a program JUST FOR YOU with your medical history, personal exercise preferences and capacity in mind. 

Access to Gym Facility

At Reach EP we have access to the well-equipped gym at the Blackwood Recreation Centre, where we do 1 to 1 sessions and group classes. 

Group Classes

Small group classes allow you to be more independent with your exercise program and to be in a community of like-minded people wanting to improve and manage their health. This allows you to access a more affordable but still supervised session. 

Hydrotherapy Group Classes

Hydrotherapy is a fantastic way to engage in an exercise program when you find it difficult to exercise on land due to pain. It allows you to move more freely and enjoy the benefits of warm water whilst you exercise.
