What Is Medicare Exercise Physiology?
If you are dealing with chronic conditions that need professional exercise guidance, The Movement EP offers you a reliable solution. Our Medicare exercise physiology gives eligible people with chronic conditions access to structured exercise support with 4 free 30-minute sessions through a GP referral and an enhanced primary care plan. Your medicare exercise physiology journey begins with an extended 60-minute initial assessment, where we review your medical history, evaluate relevant functional abilities, discuss your goals, and introduce exercises suited to your individual needs.
Get relief with our specialised clinical exercise prescription to build strength, improve function, and support confidence in daily life.
Chronic Health Conditions We Support Through Exercise Physiology
1
Arthritis
Arthritis-related stiffness and joint pain can restrict mobility. Through low-impact aerobic activities, controlled resistance training, and flexibility exercises, we help strengthen supporting muscles, maintain joint movement, and help clients manage everyday physical activities.
2
Osteoporosis
Reduced bone density requires careful exercise selection. For this, our individualised programs incorporate appropriate weight-bearing activities, resistance training, and balance exercises to develop muscular strength, improve postural control, and support physical stability.
3
Back Pain
Persistent back pain can reduce spinal mobility, trunk strength, and movement confidence. Our targeted sessions focus on graded strengthening, core conditioning, and functional movement exercises to improve physical capacity and everyday mobility.
For people who also need exercise-based injury rehabilitation, tailored rehabilitation can address movement limitations associated with injury.
4
Cancer
Cancer treatments can contribute to fatigue, muscle weakness, and reduced physical endurance. Depending on treatment stages and medical recommendations, our exercise physiologists offer programmes that include aerobic conditioning, resistance training, and mobility exercises to maintain physical function.
5
Cardiovascular Disease
Our structured exercise sessions for cardiovascular conditions include controlled walking, cycling, and resistance training, with activity intensity adjusted to individual cardiovascular capacity and medical recommendations.
6
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
For conditions like breathlessness or reduced endurance, our carefully paced sessions combine aerobic conditioning, muscle strengthening, and breathing control strategies. This helps patients to improve exercise tolerance and functional capacity.
7
Diabetes
For people managing diabetes, exercise programmes combine aerobic conditioning and resistance training, with activity selection accounting for medication, neuropathy, and individual foot health requirements.
