The plan may include regular reviews, regular functional re-assessments, in clinic and or home based exercise programs. Each plan will vary and will be individually tailored to personal requirements.
If practical to do so, our Exercise Physiologist will undertake base line measures of functional variables such as aerobic fitness, strength, flexibility, joint range of motion, balance, core strength and resting metabolic rate, to help monitor progress, review program effectiveness and assist with motivation.
Reviews are undertaken as necessary and allow for progress and / or modify the initial plan.
Home exercise programs are tailored to suit individual needs and goals, and will be practically applied to your daily life.
MPR offer supervised group exercise sessions at various times throughout the day from Monday to Friday, including some after hours options. The sessions are a cost effective way for each individual to undertake their own personalised program under the supervision of an Exercise Physiologist, while at the same time offer a supportive, safe, encouraging and friendly environment.
Although physiotherapy and exercise physiology share similarities in their practise, they are not the same thing. Both are allied health professionals who have completed a minimum of 4 years' of study at university.
Exercise physiologists primarily treat patients using clinical exercise interventions as their main modality for chronic disease prevention and management, musculoskeletal injuries and weight management. There is a strong focus on health education, behavioural change and self-management concepts. Physiotherapists are health care professionals who assess, diagnose, treat and manage acute injury, disability and pain through physical therapy.
